Character type for each line, defaulting to char.
Use Yes.keepTerminator to include the terminator at the end of each line.
Line separator ('\n' by default). Use std.ascii.newline for portability (unless the file was opened in text mode).
import std.algorithm, std.stdio, std.string; // Count words in a file using ranges. void main() { auto file = File("file.txt"); // Open for reading const wordCount = file.byLine() // Read lines .map!split // Split into words .map!(a => a.length) // Count words per line .sum(); // Total word count writeln(wordCount); }
import std.range, std.stdio; // Read lines using foreach. void main() { auto file = File("file.txt"); // Open for reading auto range = file.byLine(); // Print first three lines foreach (line; range.take(3)) writeln(line); // Print remaining lines beginning with '#' foreach (line; range) { if (!line.empty && line[0] == '#') writeln(line); } }
Notice that neither example accesses the line data returned by front after the corresponding popFront call is made (because the contents may well have changed).
Returns an input range set up to read from the file handle one line at a time.
The element type for the range will be Char[]. Range primitives may throw StdioException on I/O error.
Note: Each front will not persist after popFront is called, so the caller must copy its contents (e.g. by calling to!string) when retention is needed. If the caller needs to retain a copy of every line, use the byLineCopy function instead.
