digitalmars.D.learn - Using file as input to stdin when compiling

Hi, I'm following through TDPL and am trying to import a txt file 
during compiling for the stdin.byLine() function to read. 
Currently I have


.
.
.
foreach (line; stdin.byLine()) {

}

and would like it to analyse the supplied text file. Is this 
possible in the way that I'm thinking, or is there another way?

Thanks

I've figured out how to do it if I don't use the 1st line above, 
and manually compile and then execute:

$ rdmd code.d < file.txt

but still can't do it through the code file.

That's limitation of the shebang line. Most implementation's only 
accept one argument.

However, you can simply do:

./foo.d < foo.text

or:

void main() {
    auto f = File(args[1]);
}


or rdmd --loop for tiny scripts:


  echo "abc" | rdmd --loop='line.splitter("").writeln
