1 .TH PCRE_COPY_NAMED_SUBSTRING 3
3 PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
10 .B int pcre_copy_named_substring(const pcre *\fIcode\fP,
12 .B const char *\fIsubject\fP, int *\fIovector\fP,
14 .B int \fIstringcount\fP, const char *\fIstringname\fP,
16 .B char *\fIbuffer\fP, int \fIbuffersize\fP);
21 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
22 by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
24 \fIcode\fP Pattern that was successfully matched
25 \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
26 \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre_exec()\fP used
27 \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre_exec()\fP
28 \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
29 \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
30 \fIbuffersize\fP Size of buffer
32 The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
33 too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
