I actually have a different question related to this now that I
think about it. Is there a similar function to go from a '\0'
terminated char* to a D string? Lately I have been using
std.conv.text, but I have also made a function that just parses
the pointer and copies its data into a string. I'm actually
kind of surprised that there isn't anything built into the
string class like this.
You can use "blah\0".to!string(). You can easily use slices too:
"blah\0"[0..$-1].
Remember that D doesn't have a string class. string is defined as
this:
alias immutable(char)[] string;
So it's just an array (but some compiler knowledge).
