[Haskell-beginners] Get things from IO monad

Hi, I have a silly question, Can i get things out of IO monad? for example, function 'anotherFun' doesn't work. genFunc :: IO String anotherFunc :: (Monad m) => m String -- m is a complex monad and is not an IO monad -- m is not an instance of MonadIO so liftIO will not work anotherFunc = do genStr <- genFunc return genStr I just want to get something from IO monad and wrap it with some other monad. Is there anyway to do that? Thanks.
