It turns out, split uses splitter, which is more capable, like allowing
to say "do not keep the separators". The difference is, splitter returns
a range, so I called .array to give you an array but it's not necessary.
I took liberty to add a '+' to your pattern, which may not be useful in
your case:
import std.regex;
import std.stdio;
import std.typecons : No, Yes;
import std.array;
void main() {
auto l = "hello world\t and moon";
auto range = std.regex.splitter!(No.keepSeparators)(l,
ctRegex!`[\s-\)\(\.]+`);
auto array = range.array;
writeln(range);
writeln(array);
}
Both lines print ["hello", "world", "and", "moon"].
