I did not investigate it, but multiple replaces are not working well:
		String res8;

		res8 = "ab<a>ZZ</a>";
		RegExp("(<\\s*a[^>]*>(.*?)<\\s*/\\s*a>)", RegExp::UNICODE|RegExp::CASELESS)
			.ReplaceGlobal(res8, "()");
		CHECK_EQUAL("ab", ~res8); //this is OK

		res8 = "12<a>ZZ</a>34<a>vv</a>56";
		RegExp("(<\\s*a[^>]*>(.*?)<\\s*/\\s*a>)", RegExp::UNICODE|RegExp::CASELESS)
			.ReplaceGlobal(res8, "()");
		CHECK_EQUAL("123456", ~res8); //buggy



The ReplaceGlobal implementation is too hard for me, so I created a very simple but working method for myself to be able to use regular expressions to multiple replaces:
String RegExp::ReplaceAll(const String& s, const String& r)
{
	String res;
	int iPosStart;
	int iPosAfterEnd;
	int iFromCopyToRes = 0;
	while(GlobalMatch(s)){
		GetMatchPos(0, iPosStart, iPosAfterEnd);
		//String matched = s.Mid(iPosStart, iPosAfterEnd-iPosStart);//debug
		res << s.Mid(iFromCopyToRes, iPosStart-iFromCopyToRes);
		res << r;
		iFromCopyToRes = iPosAfterEnd;
	}
	if(iFromCopyToRes < s.GetCount()){
		res << s.Mid(iFromCopyToRes, s.GetCount()-iFromCopyToRes);
	}
	return res;
}


Test code:
		String res8;
		res8 = "12<a>ZZ</a>34<a>vv</a>56";
		res8 = RegExp("(<\\s*a[^>]*>(.*?)<\\s*/\\s*a>)", RegExp::UNICODE|RegExp::CASELESS)
			.ReplaceAll(res8, "");
		CHECK_EQUAL("123456", ~res8);

Thanks. Before fixing RegExp, have you considered using https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex ?

Thanks, I didn't know, that it is in the standard now.
Btw, Using RegEx class is much more easy.

Well, I hoped that somebody would try and tell me whether to keep maintaining RegExp... "0
