Just to add to David's answer, when I find myself in situations like:

foo >>= return . bar

hlint helpfully suggests:

fmap bar foo

So you could also have:

fmap (splitOn ",") $ readFile "data.txt"

Thank you David.  Before posting I tried readFile "data.txt" >>= … but got errors as I didn’t use return.!!

splitOn "," <$> readFile "data.txt"

or perhaps

readFile "data.txt" >>= return . splitOn ","

I have

 input <- readFile “data.txt”
 let  input’ = splitOn “,” input
….

How do I make that into just one line?

Thanks
