Right, but readln will only wait until the user presses the

The documentation for std.stdio.File shows two functions for
reading input: readln and readf. If readln isn't what you want,
then readf probably is:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html#.File.readf
Also, there's a freely available book online to help get you up
to speed: Programming in D. Here's the section on reading from
stdin with readf:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/input.html
stdin is buffered and will not be forwarded to the D-library
until you press enter. The solution is different on Linux and
Windows. On Linux you need to disable the "CANON" mode in the
terminal.

There are a few suggestions for Windows in the link as well.
Annoyingly complicated for such a simple thing but that's how it
is.
