maybe this:?

import std.algorithm, std.array, std.regex;
import std.stdio, std.file;
void main()
{
     enum string[] exts  =  [`".txt"`, `".utf8"`, `".utf-8"`, 
`".TXT"`, `".UTF8"`, `".UTF-8"`];
     enum string exclude = 
`r"/template/|biblio\.txt|categories\.txt|subjects\.txt|/toCDROM/"`;

     auto x = dirEntries("/path", SpanMode.depth)
         .filter!(`endsWith(a.name,` ~ exts.join(",") ~ `)`)
         .filter!(`std.regex.match(a.name,` ~ exclude ~ 
`).empty`);;

     writeln(x);
}
