How can I do that with D?

In C# you can do that:

var filename = @"C:\path\to\my\file.txt";
var file = new Uri(filename).AbsoluteUri;
// file is "file:///C:/path/to/my/file.txt"

How can I do that in D?

I don't know of a specific implementation that does the same, but I can point you to some spots you might look into:

std.path: https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html
std.uri: https://dlang.org/phobos/std_uri.html

vibe.inet.url: http://vibed.org/api/vibe.inet.url/URL
vibe.core.path: http://vibed.org/api/vibe.core.path/


I really feel like vibed's documentation api site is missing some nice examples of usage to get a quick feel of the provided api.

import std.stdio;

import std.windows.syserror;

@safe void henforce(HRESULT hres, lazy string msg = null, string file = __FILE__, size_t line = __LINE__)
{
    if (hres != S_OK)
        throw new WindowsException(hres, msg, file, line);
}

    scope(exit) FreeLibrary(shlwapi);
    wchar[INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH] buf;
    auto size = cast(DWORD)buf.length;
    henforce(urlCreateFromPath(path.absolutePath.toUTF16z, buf.ptr, &size, 0));
    return buf[0..size].idup;
}

int main(string[] args)
{
    foreach(path; args)
    {
        writeln(absoluteUri(path));
    }
	return 0;
}

Thank you very much u all guys.
