[Haskell-cafe] catching fails on read

[Jacques Bergeron]

I'm new to Haskell and have a stupid question.

How can a catch a parsing error on a read? Something like 

let s = "e"
in read s :: Int

I've been searching for a trick and couldn't find one. I want to enter 
commands directly from the keyboard and don't want the program to abort if I 
do a typing error.

Regards,

Jacques
