PH> It cannot. The iteration must be done in the program that calls PCRE.
I have one! (in process of writing, to be exact). But what function calls
can provide me such an information? If I call pcre_get_substring() I only
get the last match of this group - "3.", that's all. Do the PCRE
library store first two matches ("1.", "2.") anywhere? Or is there an
alternative way to get this info?
