Converting IO Int --> Int

[Tim Stitt]

Can anyone tell me how to convert a value of type IO Int to a value of ty=
pe
Int.=0D
=0D
I wrote a simple script to read an integer from the user using IO and the=
n
the value is returned from the IO function using =0D
=0D
return value=0D
=0D
with a return type of IO Int.=0D
=0D
In the calling function I wish to do a comparison with the user value and=
 a
hard-coded integer. Unfortunately I keep getting type errors between the =
Int
and the IO Int.=0D
=0D
I would be grateful for any assistance in this.=0D
=0D
Thanks in advance,=0D
