I'm missing a range variant of byLine that can operate on strings 
instead of just File.

This is such a common feature so I believe it should have its 
place in std.range.

My suggestion is to define this using

splitter!(std.uni.isNewline)

but I'm missing std.uni.isNewline.

I'm guessing the problem here is that newline separators can be 1 
or 2 bytes long. that is it Separator must be of the same time as 
Range.

Should I add an overload in PR?

Destroy.

Or some other Phobos module.

There is std.ascii.newline. The following works where newline is '\n' e.g. on my Linux system. :) import std.ascii; import std.algorithm; import std.range; void main() { assert("foo\nbar\n" .splitter(newline) .filter!(a => !a.empty) .equal([ "foo", "bar" ])); } Ali

Ok, great. So I got. auto byLine(Range)(Range input) if (isForwardRange!Range) { import std.algorithm: splitter; import std.ascii: newline; static if (newline.length == 1) { return input.splitter(newline.front); } else { return input.splitter(newline); } } unittest { import std.algorithm: equal; assert(equal("a\nb".byLine, ["a", "b"])); } One thing still: Is my optimization for newline.length == 1 unnecessary or perhaps even wrong?

IMHO, this should be added to std.string and restricted to isSomeString. Should I do a PR?

Well, the issue is that this isn't very portable for *reading*, as even on linux, you may read files with "\r\n" line endings (It's "standard" for csv files, for example), or read "\n" terminated files on windows. The issue is that (currently) we don't have any splitter that operates on multiple needles. *That'd* be what needs to be written (probably not too hard either, since "find" already exists). We also have splitLines, good enough for you by any chance? Or do you need it to actually be lazy?

Good idea. So its "just" a matter of extending splitter with std.algorithm.find with these three keys: - \n - \r - \r\n then? Or are there more encodings to choose from?

Lazyness is good in this case because my input files are Gigabytes in size :) I'm playing around with single-pass-parsing ConceptNet5 CSV-files at https://github.com/nordlow/justd/blob/master/conceptnet5.d

Hum... no, those are the correct splitting elements. However, I don't think that would actually work, as "find" will privilege the first whole element to match as a "hit", so "\r\n" never be hit (rather, it will be hit twice, in the form of two individual line breaks `\r` and '\n'). Bummer...

 Bummer...
So why not simply change the order of the keys to - \r\n - \r - \n then?

Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to express this in a new range.

I guess what we need is a variant of splitter with a more greedy alias template parameter that will digest two or one bytes.

Why not just use std.regex? foreach (line; myInput.split(regex(`\n|\r\n|\r`))) { ... } T -- The problem with the world is that everybody else is stupid.

I'll try the lazy variant of std.regex foreach (line; myInput.splitter(regex(`\n|\r\n|\r`))) { ... } I wonder if this is compatible with a ctRegex aswell. I'll try later. Thx

Shouldn't you use foreach (line; myInput.split(regex("\n|\r\n|\r"))) here?

Probably not, as (AFAIK) the splitter engine *itself* will *also* escape the passed in characters. IE: It literally needs the characters '\' and 'n'.

I ended up with this. https://github.com/nordlow/justd/blob/30806a85a5c976f3e891ca11bde3d87a16ecf5e6/algorithm_ex.d#L1858 Does it seem ok?
