DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
|
|
|
|
|
string, using a matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It returns
|
|
|
|
|
offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>code</i> Points to the compiled pattern
|
|
|
|
|
<i>extra</i> Points to an associated <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> structure,
|
|
|
|
|
or is NULL
|
|
|
|
|
<i>subject</i> Points to the subject string
|
2014-07-05 11:53:30 +00:00
|
|
|
<i>length</i> Length of the subject string
|
|
|
|
|
<i>startoffset</i> Offset in the subject at which to start matching
|
2014-07-04 22:28:24 +00:00
|
|
|
<i>options</i> Option bits
|
|
|
|
|
<i>ovector</i> Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
|
|
|
|
|
<i>ovecsize</i> Number of elements in the vector (a multiple of 3)
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
2014-07-05 11:53:30 +00:00
|
|
|
The units for <i>length</i> and <i>startoffset</i> are bytes for
|
|
|
|
|
<b>pcre_exec()</b>, 16-bit data items for <b>pcre16_exec()</b>, and 32-bit items
|
|
|
|
|
for <b>pcre32_exec()</b>. The options are:
|
2014-07-04 22:28:24 +00:00
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_ANCHORED Match only at the first position
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \R matches all Unicode line endings
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, & CRLF as newline sequences
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Recognize CR as the only newline sequence
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Recognize CRLF as the only newline sequence
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Recognize LF as the only newline sequence
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NOTBOL Subject string is not the beginning of a line
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NOTEOL Subject string is not the end of a line
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject
|
|
|
|
|
is not a valid match
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
was set at compile time)
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-32
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT ) match if no full matches are found
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
|
|
|
|
|
if that is found before a full match
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
For details of partial matching, see the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="pcrepartial.html"><b>pcrepartial</b></a>
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<i>flags</i> Bits indicating which fields are set

PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA,
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES, PCRE_EXTRA_MARK and PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT.
