Good day All,

Why does

    liftM (take 5) $ sequence $ repeat getLine

not stop at reading only 5 lines from stdin but keeps on reading more?

What I’m really trying to achieve is to get input from the user until

an empty line is read with the code below.  But this doesn’t work 

as I expected, similar to the above.

    liftM (takeWhile (/= "")) $ sequence $ repeat getLine

Regards,

Nicolaas du Preez
