Examples for the RegularExpressions unit

[Roland57]

Hello everybody!

I learnt by reading a recent discussion that FPC has now a RegularExpressions unit. So I retouched the examples that I had written for this tutorial, to make them compilable with FPC.

All the examples are available here.

All examples work as expected, excepted three (see BUGS).

I mixed up regular expression engines that are part of FPC. Original post content removed.

(I think Roland is not refering to regexpr, but System.Regularexpressions in vcl-compat in trunk that uses PCRE2 as regex engine)

[TRon]

Drats. I think you are correct Marco, thank you for the warning.

I'll adjust my previous post.

[Roland57]

Yes, I meant RegularExpressions unit from vcl-compat package, as Marco said.

[TRon]

Yeah, sorry for that Roland57.

Sometimes a response from me is just as the result from a regular expression: completely illogical and messed up 

The general gist however stands: Fixes are slow to find its way back to a release so please report in case something is wrong and thank you for checking/testing.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

Until now, I have three examples that crash, but I don't know whether the fault is in the unit or in my code. I have an example that doesn't give the expected result. The Unicode examples have been fixed. Yes, I will make a report when I have finished testing.
