Hi all, I'm searching a regular expression unit. - it must be completely written in pascal and be open source - it should support most of the 'extended' syntax like: {m,n}, |, parenthesis variables, \n, \w, \d, \s, *?, ... The more the better - it does not need to be fast thx in advance for any advice,

It's written by Florian Klaempfl. This is on the web-site, BTW :-)

Another option is http://anso.virtualave.net/delphi_stuff.htm#TRegExpr But I doubt that 1.0.x will eat it. Even for 1.1 one or two things need a fix.

You mean the (...) and /1 stuff?
