I can't seem to get this to work!

With the code above, I get this compile error:

I just want to use each 'line' variable as a string?! I've
tried 'byLineCopy', and 'line.to!string'. I've looked at
documentation.

works for me. If you want it as a string not char[] then
byLineCopy should work, if not just `.idup` `line`.
