NAME
     PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

     #include 

     int pcregetstringnumber(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 PCRERORNOSUBSTRING otherwise.
     When duplicate names are allowed (PCREDUPNAMES is set),  it
     is   not  defined  which  of  the  numbers  is  returned  by
     pcregetstringnumber(). You can obtain the complete list by
     calling pcregetstringtableentries().

     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.
