Thx guys. Now I try out the split function. I read the file as a 
single string?

auto arr = split(cast(string)read(filename),",");

where the file has "A", "B", "C"

and I get the output ["\"A\"", " \"B\"", " \"C\"\n"]

I can understand that read functions reads the endl but what does 
it with the quotation marks? how can I modify read so I get just 
["A", "B", "C"]
