Sometimes it's path string may do not have tail slash of the path
Compare:

string path = "C:\\folder\\name"
string path = "C:\\folder\\name\\"

in case if I need to append file name to path to get full path I can get error like:
path ~= foo.txt
"C:\\folder\\namefoo.txt"
instead of
"C:\\folder\\name\\foo.txt"

what is the best way to add tail slash if it's not exists?

see std.path, it contains alot of useful things.

I looked there, but found only buildNormalizedPath, but it's not for such situation...

take a second look then. ;-) you'll find `buildPath()` here too.

Not better:

	string foo = "D:/code/txtDownloader";

	writeln(foo);
	foo = foo.buildPath;
	foo ~= "config.txt";
	writeln(foo);


Running .\txtdownloader.exe
D:/code/txtDownloader
D:/code/txtDownloaderconfig.txt <-- need: D:/code/txtDownloader/config.txt

and now try to read the documentation. it rocks. no, really, it was written for people to read it!

Could you quote for me part of docs where it's written? I really can't understand about what you are taking.

what about:

        string foo = "D:/code/txtDownloader";
 	writeln(foo);
 	foo = buildPath(foo, "config.txt");
 	writeln(foo);

try first few sentences and looked at the example ;)

right here: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#buildPath
do you see examples section there? you don't even have to read the
explanations, as examples are self-explanatory.

please, try to read *the* *whole* *docs* on the given function next time. it's very boring to answer the questions that are already answered in documentation, and even demonstrated with samples.

almost all your questions here are easily answered by careful reading of documentation.
