std.file.readText() extra Line Feed character
Why does std.file.readText() append a Line Feed char onto the end
of the string?
I have a file with the following contents in it:
Name = Int
Other=Float
One More = String(Random;)
I then have the code:
void main(string[] args){
const text = Name = Int
Other=Float
One More = String(Random;);
string input = readText(args[1]);
writefln(Raw data);
writefln(D)%s, cast(ubyte[])text[$-5..$]);
writefln(File) %s, cast(ubyte[])input[$-5..$]);
}
This produces:
Raw data
D)[100, 111, 109, 59, 41]
File) [111, 109, 59, 41, 10]
Any Idea why the reading from the File adds on that extra '10'
character?
I don't think it's my editor adding chars to the end of the file,
as I'm using vi.

I dont see how, I copy and pasted from the string definition in
D, directly after the first and directly before the last .
If I look at the file in vim with line numbers turned on, the
file is like this. So I really dont think I have a new line in
the file...
1 Name = Int
2 Other=Float
3 One More = String(Random;)

You can make sure using `hexdump -C file`. I tested locally
creating a file using vi, and it does indeed have a '\n' at the
end of file.

Check out :help eol from inside it. I think other vi clones do it too but I'm not sure, but I know vim has it as documented behavior. There's apparently a few reasons for it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/729692/why-should-files-end-with-a-newline
