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 ?
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?)
