I was using std.regex yesterday, matching a regular expression against a string with the "g" flag to find multiple matches. As the example from the docs shows (BTW I think the example may be wrong; I think it needs the "g" flag added to the regex call), you can do a foreach loop on the matches like:

foreach(m; match("abcabcabab", regex("ab")))
{
    writefln("%s[%s]%s", m.pre, m.hit, m.post);
}

Each match "m" is a RegexMatch, which includes .pre, .hit, and .post properties to return ranges of everything before, inside, and after the match.

However what I really wanted was a way to get the range between matches, i.e. since I had multiple matches I wanted something like m.upToNextMatch.

Since I'm not very familiar with ranges, am I missing some obvious way of doing this with the existing .pre, .hit and .post properties?
