Hi,
 Trying to get aprogram to count all the lines or words from a file. Not
sure about the syntax. Probably missing some.
Here's what I have so far any help in the right direction would be great.

import System.IO
main :: IO ()
main = do
       incom <- openFile "file.txt" ReadMode
       otcom <- openFile "prob.txt" WriteMode
       fCount incom otcom
       hClose incom
       hClose otcom
       fCount incomh otcomh =
         do eof <- hIsEof incomh
             if eof
              then return()
              else do c <- hGetCount incom

it tells me parse error on =

John
