    15     15   Tcl_RegExpMatch, Tcl_RegExpCompile, Tcl_RegExpExec, Tcl_RegExpRange, Tcl_GetRegExpFromObj, Tcl_RegExpMatchObj, Tcl_RegExpExecObj, Tcl_RegExpGetInfo \- Pattern matching with regular expressions
    16     16   .SH SYNOPSIS
................................................................................
   162    162   the source string for the most recent call to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR.
   163    163   \fIIndex\fR indicates which of several ranges is desired:
   164    164   if \fIindex\fR is 0, information is returned about the overall range
   165    165   of characters that matched the entire pattern;  otherwise,
   166    166   information is returned about the range of characters that matched the
   167    167   \fIindex\fR'th parenthesized subexpression within the pattern.
   168    168   If there is no range corresponding to \fIindex\fR then NULL
   169         -is stored in \fI*firstPtr\fR and \fI*lastPtr\fR.
          169  +is stored in \fI*startPtr\fR and \fI*endPtr\fR.

   172    172   \fBTcl_GetRegExpFromObj\fR, \fBTcl_RegExpExecObj\fR, and
   173    173   \fBTcl_RegExpGetInfo\fR are object interfaces that provide the most
   174    174   direct control of Henry Spencer's regular expression library.  For
   175    175   users that need to modify compilation and execution options directly,
   176    176   it is recommended that you use these interfaces instead of calling the
