I think I've noticed one problem with the code above. You are
using `text.ptr`. You shouldn't do that because you are
passing a pointer not an array. Just use `text`.
Forget this line, my mistake. Use `toStringz` and pass a
pointer instead of an array.
Hi and thanks for your answer. My code looks now like this:
void main(string[] args){
const(char)* val = "Hello World".std.string.toStringz;
char* result = write(val);
const(char)[] s = cstr2dstr(result);
writeln(s);
readln(); //keep the window open
}
But now i get the error: "function expected before(), not
package std of type void" (refering to line 2).
And if i define the variable 'value' as 'const(char)*' i also
have to rewrite my C-function to accept const(char)*...
Use an import.
import std.string;
import std.conv;
void main(string[] args) {
auto value = toStringz("Hello World");
auto result = write(value);
auto s = to!(string)(result);
writeln(s);
}
Also all string literals in D are zero terminated so you could
write the call like this:
auto result = write("Hello World");
