PCRE_GET_STRINGNUMBER(3) Library Functions Manual PCRE_GET_STRINGNUMBER(3)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 com-
plete 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.

PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre.h>
int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *code,
const char *name, char **first, char **last);
DESCRIPTION
This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and last entries for a given name in the table that translates capturing
parenthesis names into numbers. When names are required to be unique (PCRE_DUPNAMES is not set), it is usually easier to use
pcre_get_stringnumber() instead.
code Compiled regular expression
name Name whose entries required
first Where to return a pointer to the first entry
last Where to return a pointer to the last entry
The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.
There is a complete description of the PCRE native API, including the format of the table entries, in the pcreapi page, and a description
of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
