1 .TH PCRE_GET_STRINGNUMBER 3
3 PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
10 .B int pcre_get_stringnumber(const pcre *\fIcode\fP,
12 .B const char *\fIname\fP);
17 This convenience function finds the number of a named substring capturing
18 parenthesis in a compiled pattern. Its arguments are:
20 \fIcode\fP Compiled regular expression
21 \fIname\fP Name whose number is required
23 The yield of the function is the number of the parenthesis if the name is
24 found, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING otherwise. When duplicate names are allowed
25 (PCRE_DUPNAMES is set), it is not defined which of the numbers is returned by
26 \fBpcre_get_stringnumber()\fP. You can obtain the complete list by calling
27 \fBpcre_get_stringtable_entries()\fP.
