The error doesn't suggest the right replacement, but it still
tells you that the function you want isn't available:

./test.d(6): Error: no property read for type File, did you mean 
std.stdio.File.readf(alias format, Data...)(auto ref Data data) 
if (isSomeString!(typeof(format)))?

std.stdio's documentation is here: 
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html

and readln is a function you can use for your purpose.

   stdin.readln();

Or just:

   readln;
