I would like to have something like that:
char[] buf; // already filled array
char[] partOfBuf = betweenTwoStrings(buf, "START", "END");
partOfBuf[0] = 'a'; // THIS should also change the 'buf'
variable
assert(buf[0] == 'a');
Thanks for your help
To do this you don't need to return a ref slice. A slice
suffices. But D strings/wstrings/dstrings are made of immutable
chars, so you can't modify them. So you need to work with
char[] or dchar[] or wchar[].

Thank you for your fast answer.
I am embarrased but my code already works as expected.
I made a mistake when I wanted to change the partOfBuf variable.
I wrote: partOfBuf = replacedArray;
But I had to write partOfBuf[0..$] = replacedArray.
