am trying to learn how to use Regular Expressions in BCB5, I have read the
online help relating to this. I typed in Perl and then read a heap of
un-helpful words that brought me no closer to understanding the hows and
whys then before I started.

All I can fathom is; the basic idea is that you first compile your
expression (pcre_compile()) and then 'run' the compiled expression against
your search space(pcre_match())

The only reason I think I know that is someone told me it but still I have
no idea what that means and online help has NOT helped me. When I try to
compile either of the following I receive an error stating I am using an
undefined function which makes me think I need an include, but I can not
find what include to put in.

I have NO IDEA how to use Regular Expressions in BCB5 could someone please
help me.

Thanks
