That's because you're trying to assign a constant type into a mutable
type.  Which is what the compiler is telling you.  Either use 'auto' for
the storage class, or explicit assign it to a 'string' (or const(char)[]
if you really feel like it).

Well, line 11 was "writefln(cTest);", so I assume you've changed
something, so I can't really help since I don't know what you've got any
more.
