NAME
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre.h>
int pcre_get_stringnumber(const pcre *code,
const char *name);
.
DESCRIPTION
This convenience function finds the number of a named substring capturing
parenthesis in a compiled pattern. Its arguments are:
code Compiled regular expression
name Name whose number is required
The yield of the function is the number of the parenthesis if the name is
found, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING otherwise. When duplicate names are allowed
(PCRE_DUPNAMES is set), it is not defined which of the numbers is returned by
pcre_get_stringnumber(). You can obtain the complete list by calling
pcre_get_stringtable_entries().
There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
pcreapi
page and a description of the POSIX API in the
pcreposix
page.
