That is a very common confusion with ranges.

No, parts is a lazy range, which is ready to serve its elements as 
needed. If you want to convert its elements to an array eagerly, you can 
call std.array.array:

import std.array;
// ...

     writeln("There are ", array(parts).length,
             " numbers in line ", line_count++);

     writeln(typeid(parts));

or

     writeln(typeof(parts).stringof);
