I have some D2 source code resembling

This gives "function std.regexp.search is deprecated".  Not being expert
at regexes in any compile-to-metal language including D, I hoped I could
just change "regexp" to "regex" and be on my way. Nope, apparently the
new regex isn't pin-for-pin compatible with the old regexp.  It doesn't
have search().  The compiler gives "Error: undefined identifier module
regex.search"

Not wanting to spend a gob of time learning regex, which I'm unlikely to
ever use in my normal work (or abnormal work), is there something like a
how-to cheat sheet for switching regexp code to regex?



The details of std.regex is found at this link:
        http://dlang.org/phobos/std_regex.html

maybe this might help:

import std.regex;
void main() {
        auto text = "regex";
        if (auto m = match(text, "x") )  {
                auto c = m.captures;
                writeln(c.pre, ":", c.post, ":", c.hit);
        }
}

For future information, posts of this nature should be posted in D.learn.
