digitalmars.D.learn - formattedRead can't work with tab delimiter input

Hi,

I want to read two fields from STDIN

     string key;
     double value;
     line_st.formattedRead!"%s %f"(key, value);

However, if the input line contains \t and it doesn't contain any 
space, the code doesn't work as expected. If there is a space, it 
works well





Can you please help? Thanks a lot.


PS: My program is found here

Well it's so different from C. I would use this: --- auto t = line_st.split.join (' '); t.formattedRead!"%s %f"(key, value); ---

Yes it's possible. It's a little weird and it seems the "feature" (or bug) is not documented on https://dlang.org/phobos/std_format.html. Why a tab (`\t`) isn't considered as a space?
