SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       This  convenience  function finds the number of a named substring cap-
       turing 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.
