Hi All,

I'm writing a code, where the input is read from a text file using:

readValues = readFile "Input.txt"

Since the type of this is 'IO String', I can't use this in the consequent functions.

For an example: I want to split this as follows within another function

extractInput url method template

| isURI url == True = getList values components

| otherwise = []

where components = splitTemplate readValues

values = getURL (splitURL url) method

This gives the following error:

Couldn't match type ‘IO String’ with ‘[Char]’

Expected type: String

Actual type: IO String

How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Dananji Liyanage
