I was reading about the regular closed sets. The definition is
Let $X$ be a topological space and $Asubseteq X$. We say that $A$ is a regular closed if $A=textcl(textint(A))$
Then, one question came to my mind: is there a topological space $X$ such that $X$ isn't a discrete space and for that every closed subset of $X$ is a regular closed set?
Obviusly, if $X$ is discrete then every closed set is a regular closed, but, if $X$ isn't discrete, what happens? That example exists?
Thanks in advance.

Given a partition $P$ on a set $X$, we can define a topology whose open sets are unions of elements of $P$. In this topology, open sets and closed sets are the same, so all closed sets are regular closed. (If $P$ is the finest partition this is the discrete topology; if $P$ is the coarsest topology it is the indiscrete topology. Such topologies can also be characterized as the topologies in which closed sets and open sets coincide, or topologies whose $T_0$ quotient is discrete.)
I claim, though, that these are the only examples. Indeed, suppose $X$ is a topological space in which all closed sets are regular closed. Suppose $x,yin X$ are such that $yinoverlinex$. Since $overliney$ is regular closed, it is the closure of its interior $U$ which is in particular nonempty, and we must have $yin U$ since $y$ is dense in $overliney$. Since $yinoverlinex$, we have $Usubseteq overlinex$ as well and so $xin U$. Thus $xin overlineU=overliney$ and so $overlinex=overliney$. We see then that $U$ is the interior of $overlinex$ and every element of $overlinex$ is in $U$ (since $yin U$ and $y$ was originally an arbitrary element of $overlinex$). Thus $U=overlinex$, so $overlinex$ is open.
So, we have shown that the closure of each singleton in $X$ is a clopen set and is equal to the closure of any of its elements. It follows easily that the collection of closures of singletons is a partition of $X$, and a subset of $X$ is open iff it is a union of elements of this partition.

You can take any set $X$ with trivial topology. Then every closed subset in $X$ is trivially regular.
But if $X$ is $T_1$ and every closed subset is regular then $X$ is discrete.
