Hi all, In general, I'm enjoying the regex respin. However, I ran into one issue that seems to have no clean workaround.
Generally, I want to be able to get the start and end indices of matches. With the complete match, this info can be pieced together with match.pre().length and match.hit.length(). However, I can't do this with captures. For an example: I have a string and the regex .*(a).*(b).*(c).*. I want to find where a, b, and c are located when I match. As far as I can tell, the only way to do this would be to capture every chunk of text, then iterate to determine the offsets. That seems wasteful. If you look at the ICU and Java regex APIs, you'll see that this information is retrievable. I believe it's available under the covers of the D regex library API too. Can this please be exposed? It's very helpful for doing text processing where you need to be able to align the results of multiple transformations to the input text. Thanks Jerry
