.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.rs
|
|
.sp
|
|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring. The
|
|
arguments are:
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
|
|
\fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
|
|
\fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
|
|
\fIstringnumber\fP Number of the required substring
|
|
\fIstringptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
|
|
.sp
|
|
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
|
|
\fBpcre[16|32]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
|
|
\fBpcre[16|32]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
|
|
needed. The yield of the function is the length of the substring,
|
|
PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
|
|
PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.
