How do you store a dictionary on Parse using swift?

In the D programming language once you read a text file using auto MyDictionary = import ("dictionary.txt"); how can you parse this into a string array stripping the CrLf from the end of each line?

• I suspect there is some variant of the split library function that will parse it into a string array for me but because CrLf is 2 characters I'm not sure if there is a way to do this with a one line call to a lib function. And as I understand it this file is read in at compile time so after it has been parsed into the string array, is there a way to free the storage that was used by the variable MyDictionary.

  This page came up in a search result, so I thought I'd answer it:splitLines is the function you are looking for. No you can't free data from the data section of the executable. If splitLines is just taking slices of the data section then you wouldn't want it freed because its still technically in use by the string[]. import std.string : splitLines; enum strings = import("dictionary.txt").splitLines; enum is the part that makes sure it happens at compile time.If you wanted to do this at runtime you would do: import std.string : splitLines; import std.file : readText; auto strings = readText("dictionary.txt").splitLines;
