It doesn't print anything because the path is valid. Why do you 
expect otherwise?

Note that isValidPath is only used for syntax check, it does not 
checks that the file or directory exists. If that is what you 
want use std.file.exists instead.

 Hi,


 drive name.

And why would that not be valid? isValidPath and isValidFilename are quite

a file name is perfectly legitimate. They do have some extra restrictions
for Windows, since Windows is a lot pickier about its filenames than the
