The way I would count all of the lines in a file is (untested)
fCountLines :: String -> IO Int fCountLines = length . lines . readFile
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I could not get this to work because 'readFile' returns an IO String. I tried the following and it worked. fileLines str = readFile str >>= return . lines >>= return . length Is this a reasonable way to count lines?
