This should be a very elementary question. How do you get a string off stdin? Or an integer, or a boolean, for that matter? If I use this:
float MyFloat; string MyString; readf("%f", &MyFloat); writeln(MyFloat); readf("%s", &MyString); writeln(MyString); I get the float printed correctly, but when it asks to input the string, whatever I input gets ignored - I can't reach the writeln part in any way and I have to forcibly close the program. The same thing is with ints - if I enter an int, it acts as if I didn't enter anything at all. But floats work fine for some reason. Any thoughts about what is happening there? I'm using openSUSE 11.4 and DMD 2.053.
