digitalmars.D.learn - Reading array of numbers from file

Hi,
Do I correctly suppose this is not possible? Because I don't understand 
fully the compiler error.

import std.stdio;
void main() {
   int[] a;
   stdin.readf(" %s",&a);
   writeln(a);
}

what is the definition of format of "array" to read from file? from your example it is reading formatted(%s = simply any string terminated by enter, also prepended by a space?) from standard input. try something like this import std.file, std.ascii; void read() { // reads whole file to string, use std.file.byLine or others on large files auto data = cast(string) read("path_to_file"); // array storing your data int[] numbers; // run through the all content readed from file foreach(ch; data) { // if character is a number put it to numbers array if ( std.ascii.isNumber(ch) ) numbers ~= cast(int) ch; } }

oops, for reading by line it is not std.file.byLine but 
std.stdio.File.byLine



well, use docs, there are lot of info for starters

Brrr.... Don't parse data yourself! Your code, for example, will only parse digits single digits, and will parse "25" as [2, 5]... Use conv.to ! If your input is an actual array format, you can simply do this: //---- import std.stdio; import std.conv; import std.string; void main() { auto file = File("data.txt", "r"); foreach (line; file.byLine()) { auto numbers = to!(int[])(line.strip()); writeln(numbers); } } //---- Here is another approach, that will split your input into strings that only contains digits, and as such, can be parsed: //---- import std.stdio; import std.conv; import std.algorithm; import std.array; import std.ascii; void main() { auto app = appender!(int[])(); auto file = File("data.txt", "r"); foreach (line; file.byLine()) { auto stringEntries = std.algorithm.splitter!"!std.ascii.isDigit(a)"(line); auto numberEntries = stringEntries.filter!"!a.empty"().map!"to!int(a)"(); app.put(numberEntries); } writeln(app.data); } //---- Even this approach is kind of hackish though, and will not support numbers in hex format for example, or floats either. But that's the best you get for a completely generic parser that has no information on format what so ever.
