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[16|32]_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>
<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>
page.
