Version of PCRE that PureBasic uses?

[BarryG]

I'm using PureBasic v6.10 but can't find a way to determine which version of PCRE it uses for its Regular Expression library? I need to know because a customer has asked so they can use the correct syntax for one of their regex text. Thanks!

Code: Select all

ImportC ""
pcre_version(void);
EndImport

regex = CreateRegularExpression(#PB_Any, "")
pcre_version = pcre_version(0)
Debug PeekS(pcre_version)

Sorry seems no longer working.

this Pb_ I had looked at it earlier thinking it was a variable rather than a function

Code: Select all

ImportC ""
 pb_pcre_version(void);
EndImport

regex = CreateRegularExpression(#PB_Any, "")
pcre_version = pb_pcre_version(0)
Debug PeekS(pcre_version,-1,#PB_Ascii)

idle's example was already posted by Fred about 9 years ago...

Maybe it would be a good idea to include that snippet in the help.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have all libs with a version function for cases like this.

Ah yes "PB_" is needed too:
Here the correct version (void is 'empty"):

Code: Select all

ImportC ""
 pb_pcre_version();
EndImport

regex = CreateRegularExpression(#PB_Any, "")
pcre_version = pb_pcre_version()
Debug PeekS(pcre_version,-1,#PB_Ascii)

Thanks, everyone.

Wow; it's older than I thought, but at least it seems to support \K

Can't quickly find now, but there's a (10?) numbered groups support implementation in this forum (named groups are already available in PB)

Probably it's an AZJIO thing… Thanks!
