I would like to remove/add/change Environment Paths using D
language's Phobos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)
I saw in the documentation that there is a class file
"std.process : environment" that has the supposed ability to
minipulate environment variables.
https://dlang.org/library/std/process/environment.html
I couldn't find a good documentation on how to search and replace
strings using Phobos Library. However it seems that it might be
possbile by importing "std.array : replace" function.
https://forum.dlang.org/post/jnua50$1e4a$1...@digitalmars.com
https://dlang.org/library/std/array/replace.html
So, here we are, testing if it is possible to retrieve and set
the Environmental Variables.
import std.stdio : writeln;
import std.array : replace;
import std.process : environment;
void main(){
// Retrieve environment variable "path" for testing if it is
possible
// to retrieve it by using D language Phobos Library
auto environmentPaths = environment.get("path");
writeln(environmentPaths); // Works as expected: we can see the
output of Paths.
// Create a new Environement variable for testing if it is
possible
// to Create it with D language Phobos Library
environment.opIndexAssign("variableName", "Some Random Value
Here");
auto environmentalVariable = environment.get("variableName");
writeln(environmentalVariable); //Unexpected: absolutely no
output.
Alright, now that we see it is possible to retrieve environmental
variable, that's great.
However, setting the variable via "environment.opIndexAssign"
seems to not work.
What should we do?
I don't know.
