So you can do 'capture[1].ptr - originalString.ptr' to get the index the capture starts at.

Thanks, Jeroen I believe what matchAll returns evaluates its .front lazily, so aye; you need to pop it until you get to the match you want. : (assuming I understand the question correctly) You can however index the *captured fields* in a specific match. I couldn't wrap my head around your example pattern but see http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/f693db93c3a4 for a dumbed-down version. You can't slice match, nor can you have foreach provide an index variable. This may be to have foreach include named fields? Not sure.

Example code:
import std.stdio;
import std.regex;
void main()
{
auto input = htmlbodyp{{ message }}/p/body/html;
auto ctr = ctRegex!(`(\{\{|\{\%|\{\#)?`, s);
auto matches = matchAll(input, ctr);
/*
auto offset = 0;
foreach(match;matches)
{
writeln(offset, :, match);
++offset;
}
*/
}
What do you mean by offset? If you simply mean the index of the match,
as your example seems to indicate, you can zip the matches with iota or
sequence!n.
If you want the offset in the string where each match begins I think
you're out of luck. I needed something similar a while ago and the best
I could find was using the cumulative length of the pre property.

I needed something similar a while ago and the best I could find was using the cumulative length of the pre property. Sorry for my confusing example! Yes, I was looking for the offset in the string where the matches begin. I did some programming in PHP in the past. Their preg_match_all function has an optional offset_capture flag. I was hoping for something similar in std.regex... Good tip, I'll use the cumulative length of pre. Thanks you both for your replies!
Capture offset of matches in std.regex.matchAll?
I'm using a compile time regex to find some tags in an input
string. Is it possible to capture the offset of the matches in
some way? Otherwise I have to calculate the offsets myself by
iterating over the results of matchAll.
Thanks,
