Reading whitespace separated strings from stdin?
Hi guys! I had this homework assignment for data structures that has a pretty easy solution in C++. Reading input like this... 1 2 3 # $ 4 3 * ! # 20 3 / # $ # 62 # $ 2 3 8 * + # 4 48 4 2 + / # SUM # $ 1 2 3 4 5 # R # @ ...where "@" denotes the end of input is fairly simple in C++: string token = ""; while (token != "@") { //handle input } Note that having newlines doesn't matter at all; every token is just assumed to be separated by "whitespace". However in D, I looked around could not find a solution better than this: foreach (line; stdin.byLine) { foreach (token; line.split) { //handle input } } Is there any way to do this without two loops/creating an array? "readf(" %d", &token);" wasn't cutting it either. Thanks.

I think this should work: import std.stdio; void main() { string token; while(readf("%s ", &token)) writeln(token); } Have you tried that? What is wrong with it if you have?

It'll just leave some trailing whitespace, which I don't want. And somehow doing token = token.stip STILL leaves that whitespace somehow...

Well, forget the D functions, just use the C functions: import core.stdc.stdio; void main() { char[16] token; while(scanf("%15s", &token) != EOF) printf("**%s**\n", token.ptr); } You could convert to a string if needed with import std.conv; to!string(token.ptr), but if you can avoid that, you should, this loop has no allocations which is a nice thing.

Thanks. import std.stdio; import std.array; void main(){ auto tokens = stdin.readln('@').split; writeln(tokens); } ["1", "2", "3", "#", "$", "4", "3", "*", "!", "#", "20", "3", "/", "#", "$", "#", "62", "#", "$", "2", "3", "8", "*", "+", "#", "4", "48", "4", "2", "+", "/", "#", "SUM", "#", "$", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "#", "R", "#", "@"]

Now the thing is, this program is supposed to be a reverse Polish notation calculator. A human using this program would probably be confused as to why nothing happens when they hit enter after a line -- it only really works in the context of copying and pasting the whole input in. Still a really neat solution to know anyhow. Thanks!
