what is the type returned by regex function?

I want to store a regex member because I need to reuse it multiple times.

Can this be done?


class A {

 protected SomeTypeName regexPattern;


void load() {
     string str;
     // obtain a regex pattern and store it as str.
     regexPattern = regex( str );
 }

 bool matches() {
   // use regexPattern
}

}

The type is a template called Regex that is templated on the character width.

struct A
{
        Regex!char re;
        
        this(string str)
        {
                re = regex(str);
        }
}

There is also std.traits.ReturnType you can use for more complex types or voldemort types.

thank you
