How to get normal value from IO action in Haskell

You can't, because that would violate referential transparency.

IO in Haskell is made this way exactly to distinguish between actions whose result and effects may vary depending on the interaction with the environment/user and pure functions whose results are not going to change when you call them with the same input parameters.

In order to pass the result to a pure function taking a Chars in input you have to call your IO action into another IO action, bind the result with the <- operator to a variable and pass it to your pure function. Pseudocode example:

myPureFunction :: Chars -> ...

otherAction :: Chars -> IO ()
otherAction cs = do
  myChars <- get cs
  let pureResult = myPureFunction myChars
  ...

If you're new to IO in haskell, you may wish to have a look at the Input and Output chapters in Learn You a Haskell for a Great Good! and Real World Haskell.

There is actually a way to simply get a pure value out of an IO action, but in your case you shouldn't do it, as you're interacting with the environment: the unsafe way is ok only when you can guarantee you're not violating referential transparency.

It's impossible (I lie, there is an extremely unsafe way to cheat your way out of it).

The point is that if any I/O is performed, the behaviour and result of your programme may not depend only on explicit arguments to the used functions, thus that must be declared in the type by having it IO something.

You use the result of an IO a action in a pure function by binding the result in main (or something called from main) and then applying the pure function, binding the result in a let,

cs ::Chars
cs = undefined

main = do
  chars <- get cs
  let result = pureFunction chars
  print result

or, if the function you want to apply to chars has type Chars -> IO b

main = do
    chars <- get cs
    doSomething chars
