TPerlRegEx〖D7~XE5〗

The latest release of TPerlRegEx is fully compatible with the RegularExpressionsCore unit in Delphi XE. For new code written in Delphi 2010 or earlier, using the latest release of TPerlRegEx is strongly recommended. If you later migrate your code to Delphi XE, all you have to do is replace PerlRegEx with RegularExrpessionsCore in the uses clause of your units. The older versions of TPerlRegEx are non-visual components. This means you can put TPerlRegEx on the component palette and drop it on a form. The original TPerlRegEx was developed when Borland's goal was to have a component for everything on the component palette. If you want to migrate from an older version of TPerlRegEx to the latest TPerlRegEx, start with removing any TPerlRegEx components you may have placed on forms or data modules and instantiate the objects at runtime instead. When instantiating at runtime, you no longer need to pass an owner component to the Create() constructor. Simply remove the parameter. Some of the property and method names in the original TPerlRegEx were a bit unwieldy. These have been renamed in the latest TPerlRegEx. Essentially, in all identifiers SubExpression was replaced with Group and MatchedExpression was replaced with Matched. Here is a complete list of the changed identifiers:
