Switch statement always resolves to default instead of case - switch-statement

Question

So I've recently been trying out D, as many programmers I know are recommending I learn it over C++.
I'm using the DMD Compiler v2.057, and this is my code:
while(cliLoopC)
{
write("?> ");
string iPt_ = std.string.tolower(readln());
switch (iPt_)
{
default: writeln(E_URECCOM); break;
case "test":
writeln("Hello!");
break;
}
}
The program is that, whenever I type in test, so it should go to the case instead of the default, it just prints the contents of E_URECCOM (which is a constant char[] that contains UNRECOGNISED COMMAND\n).
I don't see what's happening to make it do this. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Yes, there's a \n at the end of readln. Try using std.string.strip(readln());

Answer 2

Well... I haven't tried out D, but maybe readln() is including the CR, LF or CR/LF at the end of the string and it should be included in the compared string?
case "test\n":
?

Answer 3

Edit:
Adam D. Ruppe's answer is the correct answer in saying:
Yes, there's a \n at the end of readln. Try using std.string.strip(readln());
I just wanted to throw that in there since my answer still has the check
My answer:
The default case is the catch all case, so it looks best (and is conventional) at the end
like this
while(cliLoopC)
{
write("?> ");
string iPt_ = std.string.tolower(readln());
switch (iPt_)
{
case "test":
writeln("Hello!");
break;
default: writeln(E_URECCOM); break;
}
}
