The details of std.regex is found at this link:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_regex.html
maybe this might help:
import std.regex;
void main() {
auto text = "regex";
if (auto m = match(text, "x") ) {
auto c = m.captures;
writeln(c.pre, ":", c.post, ":", c.hit);
}
}
For future information, posts of this nature should be posted in D.learn.
