And why would that not be valid? isValidPath and isValidFilename are quite
specific about what they think are valid path/file names, and having a # in
a file name is perfectly legitimate. They do have some extra restrictions
for Windows, since Windows is a lot pickier about its filenames than the
rest of the world, but # is not one of the characters listed as invalid:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#isValidPath
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#isValidFilename
It would be invalid to have # as a drive name, but it's perfectly legal in a
filename or directory name.

Hi,
The path is not valid as it contains the character # after the
drive name.

It doesn't print anything because the path is valid. Why do you
expect otherwise?
Note that isValidPath is only used for syntax check, it does not
checks that the file or directory exists. If that is what you
want use std.file.exists instead.
