DESCRIPTION
|
|
</b><br>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name into
|
|
newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<i>match_data</i> The match data for the match
|
|
<i>name</i> Name of the required substring
|
|
<i>bufferptr</i> Where to put the string pointer
|
|
<i>bufflen</i> Where to put the string length
|
|
</pre>
|
|
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 <b>pcre2_substring_free()</b> can be used to free it when
|
|
it is no longer needed. The yield of the function is zero for success or one of
|
|
the following error numbers:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING there are no groups of that name
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE the ovector was too small for that group
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET the group did not participate in the match
|
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY memory could not be obtained
|
|
</pre>
|
|
If there is more than one group with the given name, the first one that is set
|
|
is returned. In this situation PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET means that no group with the
|
|
given name was set.
