| SYNOPSIS |
| </b><br> |
| <P> |
| <b>#include <pcre.h></b> |
| </P> |
| <P> |
| <b>int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *<i>code</i>,</b> |
| <b>const char *<i>name</i>, char **<i>first</i>, char **<i>last</i>);</b> |
| </P> |

| DESCRIPTION |
| </b><br> |
| <P> |
| 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 |
| <i>not</i> set), it is usually easier to use <b>pcre_get_stringnumber()</b> |
| instead. |
| <pre> |
| <i>code</i> Compiled regular expression |
| <i>name</i> Name whose entries required |
| <i>first</i> Where to return a pointer to the first entry |
| <i>last</i> Where to return a pointer to the last entry |
| </pre> |
| The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or |
| PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found. |
| </P> |

| There is a complete description of the PCRE native API, including the format of |
| the table entries, in the |
| <a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> |
| page, and a description of the POSIX API in the |
| <a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> |
