[Haskell-beginners] Date Time in Haskell

[Dananji Liyanage]

Hi All,

I'm trying out the date time conversions in Haskell.

How do I convert a keyboard input (IO String) to UTCTime?

This is how I'm doing (probably there's a better way),
              convDay x = read (x ++ " 00:00:00") :: UTCTime
​​

Another thing, how do I convert getCurrentTime (IO UTCTime) to UTCTime in
order to get the time difference between the keyboard input date and today?
