RegularExpressionNamedGroupLength()

Syntax

Result = RegularExpressionNamedGroupLength(#RegularExpression, GroupName$)

Returns the length of the specified named regular expression group after a call to NextRegularExpressionMatch().

Parameters

#RegularExpression	The regular expression to use. ExamineRegularExpression() and NextRegularExpressionMatch() must have been called on this regular expression.
GroupName$	The name of the group to extract. The group name is case sensitive.

Return value

Returns the character position of the group.

Remarks

Groups in a regular expression are defined by surrounding a sub-expression with braces "(" and ")". Groups can either accessed by index using functions like RegularExpressionGroupLength() or they can be assigned a name using the "(?<name>)" syntax as shown in the example for the RegularExpressionNamedGroup() function.
