haskell-problem: io string -> [int]

Question

Hello great programmers out there,

I\'m doing my first steps in haskell and have a function that confuses me:

import Data.List.Split
getncheck_guessl

If something is within the IO monad, you can't take it to the pure outside world for further processing. Instead, you pass your pure functions to work inside the functions within IO.

In the end, your program reads some input and writes some output, so your main function is going to work with IO, else you'll just not be able to output anything. Instead of reading IO String and creating an [Int], pass the function that consumes that [Int] into your main function and use it inside do.
