The use of readf into a string is demonstrated in a stdio.d unit 
test.  I assumed it might also work with stdin.

         string s;
         auto f = File(deleteme);
         f.readf("%s\n", &s);
         assert(s == "hello", "["~s~"]");
         f.readf("%s\n", &s);
         assert(s == "world", "["~s~"]");

=============
I did get this below to work with readln, although since readln 
didn't consume the terminator, I had to add the chomp() call.

import std.stdio;
import std.string;

int main(string[] argv)
{
   string nm, nm2;
   nm=readln('\n');
   nm2 = nm.chomp();
   writeln("nm:",nm2);

   nm=readln('\n');
   nm2 = nm.chomp();
   writeln("nm:",nm2);

   return 0;
}
