For everbody who wants pcre, here's how I got it working.
>From http://www.renatomancuso.com/software/dpcre/dpcre.htm,
download "PCRE 6.7 DLL".

To the file PCRE.pas, apply the attached patch file.  If you don't,
there will be errors during compiling.

I couldn't find any documentation.  This quick and dirty little
program may help.

{$mode delphi}


uses pcre;

function count_matches( const needle, haystack: ansistring ):longint;
var
  rx : iregex;
  capture: imatch;
  where: longint;
begin
  rx := regexCreate( needle ); 
  result := 0;
  where := 0;
  repeat
    capture := rx.match( haystack, where );
    if not capture.success then  break;
    inc( result );
    where := capture.groups[0].index + capture.groups[0].length;
  until false;
end;


var

  rx : iregex;
  capdata: imatch;
  md : idfamatchCollection;

  str: ansistring;
  i : integer;

begin
  str := 'Come back, Mac.';

  rx := regexCreate( '(\w*)a(\w*)' ); 

  capdata := rx.match( str );
  if capdata.success then
  begin
    writeln( 'found' );
    writeln( capdata.groups.count, ' captures' );
    for i:= 0 to capdata.groups.count - 1 do
      writeln( ' ', capdata.groups[i].index, ' ', capdata.groups[i].length,
        '  value: ', capdata.groups[i].value );
    writeln;
  end
  else
    writeln( 'not' );


  writeln;
  md := rx.dfaMatch( str );
  writeln( 'count: ', md.count );

  if md.count > 0 then
  begin
    writeln( 'dfamatch won' );
    writeln( md[0].index, ' ', md[0].length,' ', md[0].value );

  end
  else
    writeln( 'dfamatch failed' );

  writeln;
  writeln('counting matches');
  writeln( count_matches( 't', 'try to do it' ));
end.
