Ok, thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the next version.
Seems to me to also work with 2.065 and 2.064.
From the library reference:
assert(equal(splitter("hello world", ' '), [ "hello", "", "world" ]));
Note the 2 spaces between hello and world
and
"If a range with one separator is given, the result is a range with two
empty elements."
Right, it allows you to distinguish cases where the range starts or ends
with the separator.
My problem was that if I have input like
auto word = "bla-";
it will return parts.data.length == 2, so I would have to check
parts.data[1] != "". This is too awkward. I just want the parts of the
word, i.e.
length == 2 // grab [0] grab [1]
length == 1 // grab [0] (no second part, as in "bla-")
length > 2 // do something else
One thing you could do is strip any leading or trailing hyphens:
assert("-bla-".chomp("-").chompPrefix("-").split('-').length == 1);
Just looked at std.string for a strip function that allows custom
character strippage, but apparently not there. The above is quite awkward.
