Hi,<br /><br />I have a silly question, Can i get things out of IO monad?<br /><br />for example, function &#39;anotherFun&#39; doesn&#39;t work. <br /><br />genFunc :: IO String<br /><br />anotherFunc :: (Monad m) =&gt; m String  <br />-- m is a complex monad and is not an IO monad<br />-- m is not an instance of MonadIO so liftIO will not work<br />anotherFunc = do <br />            genStr &lt;- genFunc<br />            return genStr<br /><br /><br />I just want to get something from IO monad and wrap it with some other monad. Is there anyway to do that? Thanks.
