Hi,

following the example from http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/input.html,
I try to read a value from console on windows (powershell and dos console).

The code from the example does not work,
writeln is never executed.

import std;

void main()
{
     while(true)
     {
         string name;
         readf("%s", name);
         writeln(name);
         }
}

also this doesn't work:
readf(" %s", name);

The solution is to use readln, which regrettably comes too late in the book:
