I'm trying to use the std.regex module but when I run my application I

The code I have is:
import std.regex;
void main ()
{
regex(`\.(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*(?![^\"]*\"))`, "m");
}
Well the thing is, std.regex is not quite ECMA complaint (as vaguely
stated in docs). To the best of my knowledge not a single one variant of
the forms (?:...) ... (?=...) is supported . Also see
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5169, you may try out my
patch there to support (?:...). It's a slightly outdated, but std.regex
wasn't in very active development.
I tried the patch but with no success. I still get the same error.
The patch fixes only (?: ) form and not the lookahead and others. Sorry,
it was the only one I needed back then.
I'll check if I can make a patch for them as well when I have some
spare time. That's would be around monday if, of course, nobody else
wishes to rush into the depths of std.regex.
