Let me see whether I understoodnd you correctly... If I read the contents of a file, the string will may be lazy (or something like that) and not consume memory? In fewer words, will the string behave like the infinite list of random numbers that I have used in the examples I posted?

I always pare the file. Parsing the file has the advantage of alowing me to have files of any format.
From this description, it's hard for me to see what is hard for you. When you "parse the file" I imagine you in face "parse a String" or "parse a lazy ByteString" (a much better idea). Take that `String` or `ByteString` and pass it to an `ST` computation that parses it to make an `ST` array and then operates on the array. -- Jason Dusek __________________________________________________________________ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
