NAME
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
.rs
#include <pcre.h>
int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *code, " const char *name, char **first, char **last);" int pcre16_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre16 *code, " PCRE_SPTR16 name, PCRE_UCHAR16 **first, PCRE_UCHAR16 **last);" int pcre32_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre32 *code, " PCRE_SPTR32 name, PCRE_UCHAR32 **first, PCRE_UCHAR32 **last);"
.
DESCRIPTION
.rs
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[16|32]_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
HREF
pcreapi
page, and a description of the POSIX API in the
HREF
pcreposix
page.
