Hello.
Is there anyway in D to convenient fill a string variable with a char
say X times?
So, I'd like to do something like:
string divider( size, '-'); // C++ notation.
$divider = '-' x $size; // perl notation.
I thought I could do the following:
const char divider[rowstr.length] = '-';
but the compiler complains about not having a constant integer
expression.
thanks.
It's most likely complaining about rowstr.length not being a constant, not
the '-'. This works:
const char divider[5] = '-';
If you want to allocate a new array on the heap with '-' in it, I think
there is a way, but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm pretty sure there's a
runtime function to do it.
