Function `std.regex.replaceFirstInto`

A variation on replaceFirst that instead of allocating a new string on each call outputs the result piece-wise to the sink. In particular this enables efficient construction of a final output incrementally.


						
				void replaceFirstInto(Sink, R, C, RegEx)
				(
				

				  ref Sink sink,
				

				  R input,
				

				  RegEx re,
				

				  const(C)[] format
				

				) @trusted
				

				if (isOutputRange!(Sink, dchar) && isSomeString!R && is(C : dchar) && isRegexFor!(RegEx, R));
				

				

				void replaceFirstInto(alias fun, Sink, R, RegEx)
				(
				

				  Sink sink,
				

				  R input,
				

				  RegEx re
				

				) @trusted
				

				if (isOutputRange!(Sink, dchar) && isSomeString!R && isRegexFor!(RegEx, R));

Like in replaceFirst family of functions there is an overload for the substitution guided by the format string and the one with the user defined callback.

Example

import std.array;
string m1 = "first message\n";
string m2 = "second message\n";
auto result = appender!string();
replaceFirstInto(result, m1, regex(`([a-z]+) message`), "");
//equivalent of the above with user-defined callback
replaceFirstInto!(cap=>cap[1])(result, m2, regex(`([a-z]+) message`));
writeln(result.data); // "first\nsecond\n"
