Judging from what appears below, you should probably start
with something simpler. Take this, for example:

>  > getArray :: [String] -> [File]
>  >getArray [a]
>  > | length[a] == 1 = [parseFile (head[a])]
>  > | otherwise = [parseFile (head[a])] && (getArray (tail[a]))

length [a] is always going to be 1, because [a] is a list
containing just a. head[a] is a, tail [a] is []. You give no
cases for getArray when the input is something other than a
list of length 1.
