Thanks for the input.
I just realized that I was not precise enough in my
description. Apologies for that.
My intention is to use std.algorithm, if possible.
I read the documentation and tried using many functions like
"joiner", "each", "fold", "group", "filter", etc. from
std.algorithm.iteration.
In my opinion, I need to construct a predicate like
(a, b) => if b.startsWith() {join(a, b, " ")}
Unfortunately, I cannot figure out which combination of
functions will give me the desired result.
Of course, if I am unable to find an elegant way to do it, I am
going to iterate over the array in a way similar to what you
suggested.

Unfold string array
I couldn't find by searching this forum the way to do that, so I thought it is better to ask and learn. The data I am trying to unfold is in the form of string array read from a file line by line, like this: string[] lines = [ "key1: valueA", "key2: valueB", "key3: valueC", "\tvalueD", "valueE", "key4: valueF", ] where represents some white space character(s). It could be TAB or SPACE, etc. Now, I want to find a way to concatenate valueD to the previous element which begins with key3 and afterwards concatenate valueE also to the concatenated string for key3. The rule is that long strings are folded when written to the file and folded lines always begin with a white space. Finally I am going to use assocArray to construct an associative array. All advises are welcome Thank you!
