OK, thanks. The removechars() note about deprecation said to
use std.regex instead so I have been looking at that and after
a struggle did make some use of std.regex.replaceAll. Reminded
me of the famous Jamie Zawinski quote: "Some people, when
confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular
expressions." Now they have two problems.
If I see this in someones code - import std.regex; - it
immediately causes me concerns - not just because I do not
understand it, but there is no way for me to know whether that
person understands it.
So that is a well known quote..for a reason ;-)
I've had a long career without regex, and I plan to keep it that
way.
