Just why would you need getline() and get() if they are already there?

Also, did you make them part of the class? 

Ryan Michel <ryan michel.com.au> writes:

where are they?
at the moment only input function is scanf() that I know about and my
programming knowledge does not stretch to 
C just to C++.

Yes I did make them member functions of Stream that File, memory stream etc.
are derived from.

I can use:
File aFile = new File;
aFile.open("file.txt");

this stream (aFile) can be referenced but how to reference the standard input
stream (ie. from the keyboard)?

Does it have a buffer like the derived streams?

I am only familiar with C++ style ostream & istream classes and overloaded
stream insertion and stream 
extraction operators.

Aah! Download the new version from http=3A=2F=2Fint19h=2Etamb=2Eru=2E Or wait
till Walter
includes it into the official distribution =28I hope=29=2E =3D=29

Standard streams are in fact just files attached to stdin=2C stdout=2C and
strerr=2E
You either need a new version to use them=2C or you have to create them
manually=3A

=09File stdin=2C stdout=2C stderr=3B

=09extern=28Windows=29 HANDLE GetStdHandle=28uint nStdHandle=29=3B

=09static this=28=29

=09=09stderr =3D new File=28GetStdHandle=28-12=29=29=3B
=09}

In the old version =28present in Phobos=29=2C you could only use the read=28=29
functions
=28which are binary=29=2C or the readLine=28=29 and readString=28=29=2E
However=2C in the new 
version
you also get scanf=28=29=2C the main feature of which is that it works with D
strings=3A

=09char=5B=5D s=3B
=09stdin=2Escanf=28=22%=2E*s=22=2C s=29=3B

I'm not aware of any other way to read a string directly into a dynamic
char=5B=5D 
array
so far=2E
