What compiler version are you using? The newest versions allow 
this code, though the old ones require an intermediate variable 
to satisfy the `ref` requirement on formattedRead (it will want 
to update that variable to advance it past the characters it 
read).

so either update your version, or just give an and use an 
intermediate:

string s = "xxxx".strip;
formattedRead(s, ....)
