Re: D doesn't read the first character of a file (reads everything but the first chararacter) with either read() or readText()

My keyboard sometimes messes up and will send invalid key presses to my OS which often ends up with invalid characters being written in files. When I encounter it I usually open Notepad++ and turn on show all characters which will display unprintable characters, simply allowing me to delete them and have a clean file again.

Should I upgrade versions? Could you please share the first 32-bytes (in hex) of your file? Like: $ hexdump -C input.txt
