Hi, I'm having issues with the case insensitive flag from the
phobos regex library (2.064). I have the following line of code
which returns a string. Consider the following inputs...
fileLine = "policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT"
redTerm = "groupj"
auto newString = replaceAll!(replaceTerm)(fileLine,
regex(redTerm, "gi"));
The code will not match the redTerm "groupj", even though I
have the case insensitive flag "i" set. If the redTerm text is
"GROUPJ", it will match and return the correctly modified
string.
Am I using this incorrectly?
It's working fine for me.
import std.regex, std.stdio;
void main()
{
auto fileLine = "policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT";
auto redTerm = "groupj";
writeln(fileLine);
auto newString = replaceAll!(term => "replaced")(fileLine,
regex(redTerm, "gi"));
writeln(newString);
}
Output:
policy PRI-GROUPJ-EXPORT
policy PRI-replaced-EXPORT
Sidenote: The 'g' flag doesn't do anything if you are using the
[match/replace][All/First] functions (and is actually deprecated
because it's confusing).
