The output range API only supports the put function. That's it. The output range supports no way whatsoever to read data, and it has nothing to do with the input range API. As such, an output range cannot be generically converted into an input range, but some specific output ranges could be. For instance, std.array.Appender is an output range, and you get a dynamic array out of it, which would be an input range. So, if you have control over what output range you're dealing with, the simplest would be to just use Appender. If you don't have control over what output range you're dealing with, then your options depend on what the type you're dealing with is, but it won't work with fully generic code. - Jonathan M Davis
