I would like to read a complete file in one statement and then process it line by line.

foreach (line; MyFile)
etc.

Is it possible to read a file into and array of lines?
Thanks

Would something like this work?

auto arr = array(map!"a.idup"(File("file.txt").byLine()));


It sure would. I suspect that Jesse's approach...

  readText("file.in").splitLines()

...would be the most efficient way if you need an actual array: slurp the whole file at once, then create an array of memory-sharing slices.

I look forward to the great std.stdio/std.file unification of 201x, when I won't have to look in two modules for file-reading functions. :)

GULP! This language is so powerful! Do I dare ask a followup question?
I will try the readText.splitLines().  Thanks to all!
