Testing ASCII chars above 128 (testing my translation code), I wrote 
this little test:

char[] test;
test.length=256;
for(int i=0; i<=255; i++)
	test[i] = cast(char) i;

// Checks char by char, and offsets them to "good" chars
remove_q1_Color_Names(test);	

printf("\nLine: >%.*s<\n\n",test[1..$]);

writefln("Line: >",test[1..$]);

This yields the following result fro printf:

Line: >               []0123456789.<=> 
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghij
lmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ 
<=>             []0123456789.<=> 
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghij
lmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ 
<

printf dumps the translated chars as planned.


Line: >               []0123456789.<=> !"#$Error: std.format
% messes up code

writefln on the other hand exits on the % character.



This is more of a warning to the writefln fans. Avoid using it for 
situations where a % *can* be part of a string you try to output. Ugly!


Back to prinft() for me again. Luckily when translating my code I kept 
printf() most of the time.

Unless you write "%%", which is the way to output a % character.

You just need to add a "%s" format, before the string itself...


Reasons like this are exactly why I wrote std.stdio.writeln
It doesn't have any such "special" characters, like % or so.

Right, but since I am normally reading string from text files, a % would 
  require a converttion to %%.

Ahh... ops... lazy me!
