Sorry, I didn't know if this question has been brought up earlier.  Does anyone know if regular expressions might be supported in the language the way perl does?  I didn't see any documentation about it, so I am assuming it will be supported through a library.  Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I was just curious.

See documentation, Phobos page. Regular expressions are part of the standard library from the first day on, but definately not Perl way.

It's in the standard library. The std.regexp module in D contains regular expressions.

To see how it's done in D, you can look at my example at:
