digitalmars.D.learn - a newbie problem regarding splitter()

Hello,

I've just started learning D, working my way through "The D 
Programming Language" by Andrei Alexandrescu. On page 8 there is:
import std.stdio, std.string;

void main(){
     uint[string] dictionary;
     foreach (line; stdin.byLine()){
         foreach (word; splitter(strip(line))){
	    if (word in dictionary) continue;
  	    auto newID = dictionary.length;
	    dictionary[word] = newID;
	    writeln(newID, '\t', word);
	}
     }
}

When i try to run it, i get that splitter is 'undefined'. I can't 
spot the error. Maybe a fresh pair of eyes will do it??

Thank you,
Alex

Great book but a lot has changed in D since the book was written in 
2010. Your issue is in the book's errata:

So, the following should work today:

import std.stdio, std.string;
import std.algorithm;

void main(){
     ulong[string] dictionary;
     foreach (line; stdin.byLine()){
         foreach (word; splitter(strip(line))){
             if (word in dictionary) continue;
             auto newID = dictionary.length;
             dictionary[word.idup] = newID;
             writeln(newID, '\t', word);
         }
     }
}
