Hello,
pcredemo -g, upon a normal run, reports:
./pcredemo -g "rate (?'rate'\d+)Kbit"
"quantum 12500 rate 300000Kbit ceil 540000Kbit"
Match succeeded at offset 14
0: rate 300000Kbit
1: 300000
Named substrings
(1) rate: 300000
Matching error -24
Which is ending in:
if (rc < 0)
{
printf("Matching error %d\n", rc);
pcre_free(re);
return 1;
}
rc at that moment being PCRE_ERROR_BADOFFSET.
So far I see it as a bit unclear what to report to the caller. Unless
-24 is always how an otherwise successful run ends and can be counted
upon.
It would be nice to return tot he caller a status that says clearly that
all that there was to mine in the string according to the regex was
mined and that's OK. As opposed as returning a systemic error of any
kind. Is there a way to do that ? I'm still getting inspiration off
pcredemo.
Thanks.
