It doesn't work, because it accepts a ref string. So you have to write: string s = " 12\n"; int n = parse!int(s); But it doesn't work still, it chokes on the first space, so you have to remove it: string s = "12\n"; int n = parse!int(s); But it ignores leading noise: string s = "12x"; int n = parse!int(s); So it's completely broken for my purposes.
