Open /dev/tty as a file and read from it.

I have tried opening /dev/tty like this:-

 auto my_in = File("/dev/tty", "r");

Then I read from it later on like this :-

my_in.readf(" %s",&response);

But the programme, just hangs there waiting for input and doing nothing.

I have now tried a new syntax for readf, from a search on readf

  my_in.readf!"%s\n"(response);

This seems to work, if I remember to press enter.
