I can't understand how to use strip? For example I would like

Error: no overload matches for stripRight(C)(C[] str) if
strip doens't work that way. It simply removes leading/trailing
white.
There's a version in std.algorithm which is more generic, but it
accepts either a predicate, or an element, but not a range.
Unfortunately, there is no generic function that allows striping
of a specific ending range (though there are ways to either
detect it, or strip it from the end).
If you want something generic, then:
string path = "myFile.doc";
string extension = ".doc";
if (path.endsWith(extension))
path = path[0 .. $ - extension.length];
Would work.
