D Programming: How would I read a 64-bit integer from a file?

Question

Hex looks like this: <"0000000000005205" →. I want it to return 0x5205 instead of reading it as 383368918279913472. How do I do this?

Answer 1

It looks like a big-endian. Use bigEndianToNative from std.bitmanip.

Answer 2

See: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_conv.html#parse

 auto myInt = parse!ulong(textFromFile, 16);
