Hello

I was wondering if there is any function in CT witch will return the position of the regex if found in a string.

Thanks

sternas keep up the amazing work!

Hi, you can use:
wiki.freepascal.org/Regexpr
or simple function pos(someString, ChrToFind)
Regards

For more information:
www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/pos.html

Also, there is many interesting things...
lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/strutils/index-5.html

I know there is pos but is a great difference between finding a regex and a position of a string.

I know about the regex class but I didn't find a function that will return the position of regex in string.

Thank you

Try to find something in StrUtils

You can try one of those listed here

Please let me know how useful they really are. If they do not support things like positive/negative lookahead, then they are useful only for some really basic search. I wish there is some PCRE wrapper for FPC like TPerlRegEx for Delphi.
