Thanks the function is working now with regex support, including simpleformat regex´s. Now I have some new questions though. According to the tutorial on lazarus-ccr a thread must never update the form, does this also apply to things like messagedialog and showmessage ? Because if so, then this function is not currently threadsafe and I need to hack it a little more (I at least intend to use it in threads). For the record, the final function is going into olpack, possibly with a wrapper component later in case anybody else wants it.
