This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by number
|
|
|
|
|
into newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
|
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
\fImatch_data\fP The match data for the match
|
|
|
|
|
\fInumber\fP Number of the required substring
|
|
|
|
|
\fIbufferptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
|
|
|
|
|
\fIbufflen\fP Where to put the string length
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling the same
|
|
|
|
|
memory allocation function that was used for the match data block. The
|
|
|
|
|
convenience function \fBpcre2_substring_free()\fP can be used to free it when
|
|
|
|
|
it is no longer needed. The yield of the function is zero for success,
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
|
|
|
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.
