[Haskell-beginners] consing an element to a list inside a file

[kane96 at gmx.de]

ok, now I did it by just calling from the original function by to a new one with an empty list at the beginning.

How can I add the date at the end of the list? By creating a new list from the new date and using concat or is there a simpler way?
