tango.io.stream.Delimiters

class Delimiters(T): Iterator!(T);

Iterate across a set of text patterns.

Each pattern is exposed to the client as a slice of the original content, where the slice is transient. If you need to retain the exposed content, then you should .dup it appropriately.

The content exposed via an iterator is supposed to be entirely read-only. All current iterators abide by this rule, but it is possible a user could mutate the content through a get() slice. To enforce the desired read-only aspect, the code would have to introduce redundant copying or the compiler would have to support read-only arrays.

See Lines, Patterns, Quotes.

this(const(T)[] delim, InputStream stream = null);

Construct an uninitialized iterator. For example:

                auto lines = new Lines!(char);

                void somefunc (InputStream stream)
                {
                        foreach (line; lines.set(stream))
                                 Cout (line).newline;
                }

Construct a streaming iterator upon a stream:

                void somefunc (InputStream stream)
                {
                        foreach (line; new Lines!(char) (stream))
                                 Cout (line).newline;
                }

Construct a streaming iterator upon a conduit:

                foreach (line; new Lines!(char) (new File ("myfile")))
                         Cout (line).newline;

size_t scan(const(void)[] data);
