SYNOPSIS
</b><br>
<P>
<b>#include &#60;pcre2.h&#62;</b>
</P>
<P>
<b>int pcre2_substring_list_get(pcre2_match_data *<i>match_data</i>,</b>
<b>" PCRE2_UCHAR ***<i>listptr</i>, PCRE2_SIZE **<i>lengthsptr</i>);</b>
</P>
<br><b>
DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This is a convenience function for extracting all the captured substrings after
a pattern match. It builds a list of pointers to the strings, and (optionally)
a second list that contains their lengths (in code units), excluding a
terminating zero that is added to each of them. All this is done in a single
block of memory that is obtained using the same memory allocation function that
was used to get the match data block. The convenience function
<b>pcre2_substring_list_free()</b> can be used to free it when it is no longer
needed. The arguments are:
<pre>
<i>match_data</i> The match data block
<i>listptr</i> Where to put a pointer to the list
<i>lengthsptr</i> Where to put a pointer to the lengths, or NULL
</pre>
A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose address is in
<i>listptr</i>. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. If <i>lengthsptr</i> is
not NULL, a matching list of lengths is created, and its address is placed in
<i>lengthsptr</i>. The yield of the function is zero on success or
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained.
