Writing or even worse, reading/debugging regex is about the most

So is standard programming code - if you don't know the syntax or how it
works. ;-) Also the reason why I posted a couple of links to regex sites
to get the original poster started (in case he doesn't know regex). Here
is another link (by the author of EditPad Pro), who really knows his
regex!
http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html
Next thing todo: implement PERL inside pascal programs, compiled in perl.
Then, realize, why you didn't originally want to go there.... ;-)
Or even allow FPC to to call Lua.
I know this is rare and probably wouldn't happen outside the "season of
goodwill", but I actually agree with Graeme here: regexes are useful.
BUT FFS DOCUMENT WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM!
