Summary: std.conv.to!int doesn't ignore whitespace Product: D Version: future Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_h...@eml.cc --- Comment #0 from bearophile_h...@eml.cc 2010-05-09 05:20:45 PDT --- Too much flexibility in a language and its libs causes several problems, but the opposite too makes the language and its use fussy. So there is a right intermediate point of balance to be found. The conversion from string to numbers performed by std.conv.to is excessively rigid. In Python this conversion works: >>> int(" 0123\n") 123 In D v.2.043 the same produces an error: import std.conv: to; void main() { int x = to!int(" 0123\n"); } std.conv.ConvError: Can't convert value ` 0123 ' of type const(char)[] to type int Can std.conv.to be modified to ignore whitespace? In particular the ending newline is very common, for example every time I want to convert a line from a text file to a number I have to use something like this: to!int(readln().chomp()); Instead of a simpler: to!int(readln()); -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
