How do i find strings in form of XYYYY... (in regex: X{Y*} using  tango.text.Util.containsPattern  ? the documentation does not mention regex.

So i have a string where multiple substrngs in the format X{Y*} can appear, and I would like to identify all of them, iteratively

That function is for finding a string or array inside another array. It's not for regular expression. For regular expression you want tango.text.Regex or if you're using D2 then std.regex would be a better choice.
