Thanks! your solution is more robust (minus some caveats i mentioned) and also trivially extends to variadics. On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 2:07 PM, monarch_dodra monarchdo...@gmail.comwrote: On Tuesday, 11 March 2014 at 05:37:25 UTC, Timothee Cour wrote: void writelnIfNotEmpty(T)(T a){ auto

writeln if not empty

Is there a way to do the following lazily: writelnIfNotEmpty(T)(T a){ auto b=text(a); if(b.length) writeln(b); } ie, without using std.conv.text (which needlessly computes an intermediate string, which could be quite large) or launching a separate process ? writelnIfNotEmpty(); //doesn't

Re: std.file.dirEntries unsorted

yes, I agree sorting should be explicit as there's no natural order. However sorting after calling dirEntries is not great as typically one wants to sort within a given directory level and it's too late to sort once all the directory levels are flattened. so how about having an extra argument that
