Introduction to Library Functions        PCRE_GET_STRINGNUMBER(3)



NAME
     PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

     #include 

     int pcre_get_stringnumber(const pcre *code,
          const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

     This convenience function finds the number of a  named  sub-
     string  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.
