It would be nice if std.string in D provided a nice, easy,
string manipulation that swept most of the difficulties under
the table
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_array.html#split
Note that std.array is publicly imported from std.string so this
works:
void main() {
import std.string;
auto parts = "hello".split("l");
import std.stdio;
writeln(parts);
}
provided links in the documentation to the functions they wrap
for when people want to do more complex things.
Actually, when writing my D book, I decided to spend more time on
the unicode stuff in strings than these basic operations, since I
thought these were pretty straightforward.
But maybe the docs suck more than I thought. I learned most of D
string stuff from Phobos1 which kept it all simple...
