(This question hasn't received an answer at d.D.learn.)

What is the state of formatted input? There has been changes at some point and at least %x and %o don't work anymore:

    int i;
    int j;
    readf(" %o %x", &i, &j);

phobos/std/format.d(2690): Parsing spec 'o' not implemented.

Same for %x. Of course %s works but doesn't know octal or hexadecimal. Is this ever going to be implemented, or is there a different method?

Thank you,
Ali

iirc the whole formatting/unformatting engine was redone/consolidated.  If this used to work, and doesn't now, please open a regression report in bugzilla (and it will probably get fixed before the next release)
