Using File 's readLine method , I read in a line , that has nothing but a number and I get trash preceding each string.  Its the same if i write to stdout or write to a file ( see attached )

This is bordering on ridicoulous ... I hate having to re-compile phobos everytime a new version comes out just to take out this worse than useless stream package.  Why not adopt Andy's version untill some can be written ?? Something ... anything ... please!!!

Stream.write() puts the string length (binary) before the string, which doesn't look good in the console. This is good for files, so you can use a corresponding Stream.read() to easily reconstruct the same length string. What you want is Stream.writeString() or Stream.writeLine().

Don't feel bad, the current Stream implementation /does/ need some work, and in my opinion needs to get split into multiple modules (ie std.stream.console for stdin/out/err, std.stream.file for FileStream, etc, with a std.stream.stream defining the Stream interfact and StdStream base class... just as a suggested design.  ;))

I agree , needs work.  So far no-one has stepped up , you want to give it ago :) ?  Your uniquely qualified ;).

If you're interested, I have a high performance IO package that could use some practical feedback. It's part of the Dsc (D servlet container) project, but operates quite happily in a standalone configuration. Coincidently, it's partitioned pretty much as described below <g>

Sweet , I was going to try the DSC out, but I have no idea what a servlet container is  :D.  Is there a download for the project ?

Not yet, though it will be available at dsource.org after the alpha round has completed. If you're willing to provide some feedback I'll email you a copy (though your stated email address is unlikely to be a real one :-)

I'm interested.  I was rather seriously thinking of just writing my own, and it would be nice not to have to (at least for some things).

Is there a thread or page somewhere listing what should be done
to std.stream? Is it just efficiency (ie: add BufferedStream)?
Are people thinking of something like Java's stream package
with interfaces for reading/writing etc?
I like std.stream's simplicity - there is no heavy machinery
or APIs to wade through.

>and in my opinion needs to get split into multiple modules (ie std.stream.console for stdin/out/err, std.stream.file for FileStream, etc, with a std.stream.stream defining the Stream interfact and StdStream base class... just as a suggested design.  ;))

if the std.stream API gets alot bigger then sure. Otherwise I'd vote to leave it the way it is. In general have D coders been putting one "public class" per module? I guess I do but that is just because I'm used to Java.
