When I try to compile this I get an error:
test.d(12): Error undefined identifier 'length;
Here to!string() is probably unnecessary, it's a wasted
allocation.
splitter() returns a lazy range that doesn't know its length.
To solve your problem there are two main solutions: to use
split() instead of splitter(), or to use walkLength() on the
range given by splitter().
In theory splitter() should faster, but in practice this isn't
always true.
Keep in mind that "real" is usually more than 64 bits long, and
it's not so fast.
Maybe nowdays there are other ways to load that data, I don't
know if readfln("%(%f %)%") or something similar works.

Thanks very much.
I tried the strip() without to!string and got a syntax error when
I tried to compile.
Cheers,
