If you want to use `yield` in nested functions you will have to use yield*
to and your nested functions need to be generators
```js
suspend(function* (resume) {
var contents = yield fs.readFile('idList.json', 'utf8', resume);
yield* each(contents.split('\n'), function* (id) {
var info = yield
request.get('http://www.example.com?id='+id<http://www.example.com/?id='+id>,
resume);
});
})();
// Generator friendly forEach for arrays
function* each(array, callback) {
for (var i = 0, l = array.length; i < l; i++) {
yield* callback(array[i]);
}
}
```
