what i need is a string,

You can do the conversion with "<-", but only inside a "do" block. For instance:

myReadFile :: IO String
myReadFile = ...

main = do
s <- myReadFile
putStrLn s

Here, s has type String.

'do' is a syntactic sugar of monadic operations.
The original form can be written as

main = myReadFile >>= \s -> putStrLn s

and more short by eta-conversion

main = myReadFile >>= putStrLn
