I'm reading a .d file, and for debugging purposes I need to output the content of that file (or some of it) to the screen in certain ways.

What I usually do is read the part I want to output in an array then write that array
#writefln( text );

The problem is, the text itself could be something like:
printf("%d stuff", stuff);
in which case I would be outputting a string that contains a "%d", thus the writefln function would expect me to supply an integer, which I obviously didn't do, and I get an std.formatter error and the program aborts.

Can I do unformatted output? or is there a work around?

writefln("%s", text);

Not really, there _should_ be an "unformatted" variant too...

I suggested: writeln(text);
