Thank you for the thought, but the problem here is that the file containing the
strings is only known at runtime from a command line argument. I also have some
global strings that need to be set from the database.
Thank you again,
JC

I'm working on an application that requires a large number of strings that

variables like database host and username that need to be read from a file.
Can anyone help me with an example how they might do this task?
Thank you,

immutable string1;
immutable string2;
immtuable string3;
static shared this()
{
string1 = "the string";
string2 = "the other string";
string3 = funcThatGrabsStringFromFile();
}
immutable variables are implicitly shared. The shared module constructor will
then initialize them before main runs, and all threads will have access to
them.
