Thank you Robert,
Wooow! your code is seen perfect.
I want to ask one more question; my file contains many many functions, 
vars and begins like this,
for example;
...
function TfrmExecMain.GetApiErrorMessage(ApiErrCode :DWORD) :String;
var
  Buf: array[0..511] of Char;
  MsgCnt :DWORD;
begin
...
function TfrmExecMain.SetPrivilege(PrivilegeName: String;
  Enable: Boolean): Boolean;
var
  tpPrev,
  tp         : TTokenPrivileges;
  token      : THandle;
  dwRetLen   : DWord;
begin
...
how can I do it with your code?
should I write new regexp for each function?
