printf works but not writefln?

How can I get the returned string by GLubyte* glGetString(); into a D 
char[]?

:) I hope I've expressed myself clear enough. Sorry if I've just wrote 
incomprehensible garbage.

std.string.toString:

writefln("%s", toString(glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS)));

Given that its natural type is ubyte* you should be able to do this:







I would think so, anyhow.  If it will not allow a direct cast to char*, you can
always add 
a middle state cast to void* first.

Thank you, Chris,

I think this will work for me.
