Hi!

Can anybody tell me what I do wrong in the second alternative?

void testRE()
{
  // alternative 1 : works
  if (auto m=std.regexp.search("abcde","^abc"))
    printf("alt 1 match '%s'\n",toStringz(m.match(0)));
  else
    printf("alt 1 no match\n");
  // alternative 2 : why not?
  if (auto m=(RegExp("^abc").search("abcde")))
    printf("alt 2 match '%s'\n",toStringz(m.match(0)));
  else
    printf("alt 2 no match\n");
}

Regards, Frank
