My first suspicion is that the shell is interpreting metacharacters in
your string and thereby mangling it.

Check out what `echo $text` prints:

----
import std; void main() { while(true) { string enemy1 = readln().strip; 
int dist1 = to!int(readln().strip); string enemy2 = readln().strip; int 
dist2 = to!int(readln().strip); // Write an action using writeln() 
writeln(dist1 > dist2 ? enemy2 : enemy1); // Enter the code here } }
----

Note that it's all on one line. And remember that a "//"-style comment 
spans the rest of the line.

That's right. Everything after the first "//" is now part of the 
comment, all the way to the last closing brace. Obviously, that's not 
valid code anymore.

Try using double quotes around $text:

     echo "$text" | dmd -
