I'm not at my computer anymore, could you please replace the

Ok.
I think the `fromstringz` is trimming the null bytes for you,
making the `\n` the last character, allowing `strip` to work.
Yes, you are right:
```d
import std.stdio;
import std.string;
void main() {
ubyte[8] b1 = [0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x00,
0x00];
ubyte[8] b2 = [0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x0A,
0x0A];
/* "hello\n\0\0" */
char[] s1 = fromStringz(cast(char*)b1.ptr);
writefln("'%s, world'", s1.strip);
char[] s2 = cast(char[])b2[0 .. $];
writefln("'%s, world'", s2.strip);
}
```
output:
```
mono:~/2-coding/d-lang/misc$ ./p
'hello, world'
'hello, world'
```
everything as needed.
thanks.
