Summary: Truncation of long string by std.stdio.write Product: D Version: 2.026 Platform: PC URL: http://www.britseyeview.com/middle.txt OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: bugzi...@digitalmars.com ReportedBy: steve.te...@britseyeview.com Walter, The file middle.txt at the URL above has lines numbered up to 555. If I read it into a string and std.stdio.write the string to the console, the output is truncated at line 261. import std.file; import std.stdio; import std.c.stdio; void main() { string s2 = cast(immutable(char[])) std.file.read("middle.txt"); std.stdio.write(s2); printf("%s", (s2 ~ "\x00").ptr); } It isn't std.file.read, as I got similar behavior when the string was output to the console from the program that generated middle.txt - then it was at line 221. I checked the string for embedded zeroes and 0x1a when it was doing the fail at 221, but it seemed to be OK. printf works as expected. I'm sorry I can't come up with anything more compact than this, and I'm probably missing something stupid. Steve --
