[Haskell-beginners] A basic misunderstanding of how to program with IO

[Ozgur Akgun]

I might have misunderstood you, but what about using the existing interact
function:
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.0/Prelude.html#v:interact

And for your interact, since it is not in the IO monad, you cannot write
such a function. [ don't tell him about the unsafePerformIO :) ]

I am sure you'll get better answers.

Best,
