I'll quote from help:
TPerlRegEx is a Delphi VCL wrapper around the open source PCRE library, which implements Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions. PCRE source code, with minor modifications, is included. PCRE was compiled into a DLL with C++Builder 6. By default, the OBJ files are linked directly into your application when using TPerlRegEx, and the DLL is not needed. Remove the definition of NO_PCRE_DLL in the PerlRegEx.pas unit if you prefer to use the DLL.
It's not native VCL, but the regex syntax it supports is very complete.

I'm not aware of any better RegEx library in Delphi. I don't want to use another external dll for now.
AutoHotkey didn't add it as external library but included it is in main exe. I said LoadLibrary just as an example of usage but you can also staticly link it.

Sorry, I don't have a Borland C compiler to create a lib which I could link with Delphi. Libs created with MS VC++ 6.0 cannot be linked with Delphi code.

Is it me, or does it look like a very good news in disguise ?

Hm... can't help here.... never did that... maybe it is possible but I wouldn't know.
But TPerlRegEx sounds like nice solution for this problem. It would be good to use AHK library if possible as it is already extensively tested and I confirm it is very fast and small.

I will try it, thanks!

Just found out that I can't search multibyte like Chinese when searching file or searching in Lister by RegEx.
Is it a bug or just the limit of TC's regex engine?

It's probably a limitation of the Regex engine TRegEx, sorry.

I vote too for a better RegEx-Library!

Are we cursed to use the TRegExpr library for the whole life?
It is very limited and contains bugs.
One of the examples:
text:
"INTO
customers"
search string:
"INTO\s+customers"
this regexp should find the text, but in TC it does not.
If the author doesn't want to change this library then maybe it is possible to make a support for regexp plugins so it will be possible to dynamically choose the used regexp engine?

This isn't the fault of TRegExpr - it's a limitation of TC that you can only search within lines.
