Using the stand-alone version of dscript, how do you tell when there is no more standard input, as in:

ds foo.js <file.txt

Thanks!

There currently isn't a way. I should probably fix that!

I recently had a look at DMDScript 1.06 [standalone version] and noticed that this situation still exists. Would it be possible to remedy this for the next release ?

For example, might it not be useful to return 'null' on EOF, thus allowing this sort of construct:

    var line = readln();

    while (line != null)
    {
         ...
         line = readln();
    }

It would certainly enhance the utility of what appears to be quite a fine product.
