Hi,

I would like to know how to do something like this

Can somebody point me in the direction of the doco for this please because I can't find it :(

Whoops. Forgot to mention that I don't need the path truncation just the info that is exposed by the compiler or build system to source files at compile time and how to retrieve it.

Thank you in advance :)

The filename passed to the compiler is easy: __FILE__ works in D too, and you can just strip off extra path info with ordinary functions (like std.path's basename or dirname functions).

Thanks Adam. Worked like a charm.
