Dear Borislav, Dragos and Marc,

Thanks for this question (@Borislav) and the solution's 
approaches (@Dragos and @Marc). Today, I had the same task and 
tried to find a solution for it. Unfortunately, the proposed 
solutions seem not work.

Here is the version from Dragos (run it directly on the web):

Here the version from Marc:
http://ideone.com/yCaYrD

In both cases, I got the "Error: template 
std.algorithm.iteration.splitter cannot deduce function from 
argument types [...]" message.

Can anyone help me with a functional example? That would be great 
:)


Best regards,
Thorsten
