digitalmars.D.learn - Input interrupt

reply helxi <brucewayneshit gmail.com> writes:
Hello, I just wrote a mock-up of Unix's $cat. However unlike the 
actual $cat, when input interrupt (Cntrl+D) is pressed the 
following program does not stop.

So I tried using C's EOF but the types aren't compatible since 
EOF is probably aliased to -1

//...
if (args.length < 2)
     {
         string input = readln();
         while (input != EOF)
         {
             input.write();
         }
     }
//...


Tips?



Here is the full program:



import std.stdio;
import std.file;

void main(string[] args)
{
     if (args.length < 2)
     {
         string input = readln();
         while (input != EOF)
         {
             input.write();
         }
     }
     else
     {
         foreach (path; args[1..$])
         {
             auto current_file = File(path, "r");
             while (!(current_file.eof()))
             {
                 current_file.readln().write();
             }
             current_file.close();
         }
     }
}

The readln docs for D say it returns null on end of file. The example given is: import std.stdio; void main() { string line; while ((line = readln()) !is null) write(line); } http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.stdio.readln.1.html I would try that.

Oh yes, fantastic, I also seem to have forgotten EOF was meant to compare chars, not strings.
