digitalmars.D - Regular expressions

reply Markus Dangl <danglm in.tum.de> writes:
Hi again,

this time i got a problem with regexp. The documentation says:

int search(char[] string)
     Search string[] for match with regular expression.
     Returns 	Description
     >=0 	index of match
     -1 	no match

But this program:

<code>
private import std.regexp;
private import std.stdio;

int main(char[][] arg)
{
   char[] str1 = "TEST";
   char[] str2 = "TEST.bmp";
   RegExp regexp = new RegExp("\\.bmp$", "i");

   int i = regexp.search(str1);
   int j = regexp.search(str2);

   writef("regexp.search(\"%s\") == %s\n", str1, i);
   writef("regexp.search(\"%s\") == %s\n", str2, j);

   return 0;
}
</code>

prints:

regexp.search("TEST") == 0
regexp.search("TEST.bmp") == 1

... what am i doing wrong?

Thanks,
Markus

I don't know. That's weird, here's my output:

regexp.search("TEST") == -1
regexp.search("TEST.bmp") == 4

I also get the correct results (-1 and 4) with 110.
