No, that is fine and along the same lines as the original code. As is

    for(int i = 0; i < (cast(int)line.length)-2; i++) {

however I still prefer telling the code reader what I'm doing etc... in  
clear, simple code. Although your code will work, it just isn't as clear  
at first glance as

   if (line.length >= 2)
   {
      ...
   }

but of course an even better way (IMHO) ...

     int posn = std.string.find(line, "||");
     if (posn >= 0)
     {
         // etc ....
     }
