I'm an extreme beginner to DLang (just started using it.. oh,
an hour ago?), and I already can't figure out a, what I'd
consider, fairly simplistic thing.
This is my current code:
module DTestApp1;
import std.stdio;
int main() {
write("Press any key to continue...");
stdin.read();
return 0;
}
I am using Visual Studio to write it, and no matter what I do
I cannot get it to work. I attempted to import std.stream;,
but it said that while it could find the file, it cannot be
read. Am I using the wrong function?
For those who don't know, what I'm trying to do is pause the
program until literally any key is pressed while in the
console.
The error doesn't suggest the right replacement, but it still
tells you that the function you want isn't available:
./test.d(6): Error: no property read for type File, did you
mean std.stdio.File.readf(alias format, Data...)(auto ref Data
data) if (isSomeString!(typeof(format)))?
std.stdio's documentation is here:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html
and readln is a function you can use for your purpose.
stdin.readln();
Or just:
readln;
Right, but readln will only wait until the user presses the
delimiter (by default Enter/Return). I want it to wait until ANY
key is pressed, not a specific key
