Hi,

Can someone give me a clue on why nothing is printed to stdout ?

I wish a list of files with their size.

code:
//
import std.stdio;
import std.file;

void main(string[] args)
{
     foreach (DirEntry e; dirEntries(".", SpanMode.shallow)) {
         writeln(e.name, "\t", e.size);
     }
}
//
Build with (dmd2):
dmd -w test.d


I might be way off on this.
Yet this silly stuff used to catch me all the time when switching from
windows to *nixes, back and forth:

sh$: compile something to 'test'
sh$: test
no output - WTF? Ahem, it just called that command line tool named
test... sh$: ./test
wow, now something happens ;)

Ohhh yesss, you got it.
That was so stupid, a big thanks.

Regards.

Oh I remember doing that too :)  Don't feel bad, everyone does this at  
least once.  I hate that stupid test builtin, nobody ever uses it anymore.

Note, it's not a command line tool, it's a shell builtin, which is why it  
overrides anything in your search path.

I've since adopted the habit of calling test programs "testme" instead of  
"test" :)
