Hello,

I would like to be able to make a regex from a text file :

[code]
version(Tango) extern (C) int printf(char *, ...);

import std.stdio;
import std.regex;
import std.file;
import std.format;

int main(char[][] args)
{
     string fl = readText("testregexd.txt");

     auto m = match(fl, regex(`n=(hello|goodbye);`));
     auto c = m.captures;

     writeln(c);

     return 0;
}
[/code]

But the main problem is that my file doesn't end with a semi 
colon ";". And so the regex cannot find anything in the file.

If I append this ";" at the end of my file, everything works as 
expected.

[code]
n=hello
[/code]
won't work whereas
[code]
n=hello;
[/code]
will.

Appending ";" with a mixin won't work either because it will 
create a new line.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Larry

regex(`n=(hello|goodbye);?`)


Also, would be appreciated if you could post these questions to d.learn.

I'm confused. You are using a regex with an explicit ; at the end, and
you are surprised it only matches strings that end with ;?

Step one: Remove the ; from the regex. Does that work?

Step two (should step one fail): Add a $ where the ; was. Does that work?

Step three (should step two fail): Give a better explanation of what the
problem you're trying to solve is. (i.e. why is there a semicolon at the
end of your regex?)
