http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11430 Summary: A simpler overload for std.file.slurp Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc I think it could be handy to add another overload of the std.file.slurp template function. Currently (dmd 2.064) this is its usage syntax (using UFCS for the file name), that essentially states the types two times: const arr1 = "data.txt".slurp!(int, int)("%d, %d"); If the user wants to state them only once (more DRY) then slurp could also accept: const arr2 = "data.txt".slurp!"%d, %d"; This is not a replacement for the precedent syntax because the formatting syntax is less precise ("%d %f" can only take an int and a double, so with this syntax you can't specify a long and a real), but in many common cases I think it's enough and it's simpler. (In theory the API of slurp could even change, returning a lazy range, useful for larger files.) -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
