it should be a simple memcpy, why DMD complain?
``onlineapp.d(6): Error: mismatched array lengths 32 and 6 for
assignment `id[] = str[0..6]```
I'm too tired to notice something obvious?
You need to slice your `id` variable to be the required size.
You're trying to assign the complete `id` variable to a slice
of size 6.
i.e: that should be used instead `id[0..6] = str[0..6]`
That's dumb, compiler knows that ``id`` has enough room and it
should do a simple memcpy, i shouldn't have to do that myself..
i'll stick to calling memcpy.. why stray away from C to do worse
