You can use the overloaded function read for this... read "4" would give 4 This function will convert any string into any value (as long as the string is properly formatted and the value implements the function), BUT this assumes that there is a way for haskell to figure out WHAT type of value you wish to read from the string. Most of the time the way you use the resulting value will be more than enough for Haskell to figure out that it is indeed an Int that is supposed to be read, otherwise you'll have to explicitly write out the type signature of that function. -- ---------------------------------------- | Sebastian Sylvan | | ICQ: 44640862 | | Tel: 073-6818655 / 031-812 817 | | | | | | Hard Work Often Pays Off After Time | | But Laziness Always Pays Off Now! | ---------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
