1 .TH PCRE_GET_NAMED_SUBSTRING 3 "24 June 2012" "PCRE 8.30"
3 PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
10 .B int pcre_get_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 const char **\fIstringptr\fP);
18 .B int pcre16_get_named_substring(const pcre16 *\fIcode\fP,
20 .B PCRE_SPTR16 \fIsubject\fP, int *\fIovector\fP,
22 .B int \fIstringcount\fP, PCRE_SPTR16 \fIstringname\fP,
24 .B PCRE_SPTR16 *\fIstringptr\fP);
26 .B int pcre32_get_named_substring(const pcre32 *\fIcode\fP,
28 .B PCRE_SPTR32 \fIsubject\fP, int *\fIovector\fP,
30 .B int \fIstringcount\fP, PCRE_SPTR32 \fIstringname\fP,
32 .B PCRE_SPTR32 *\fIstringptr\fP);
37 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name. The
40 \fIcode\fP Compiled pattern
41 \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
42 \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
43 \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
44 \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
45 \fIstringptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
47 The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
48 \fBpcre[16|32]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
49 \fBpcre[16|32]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
50 needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring,
51 PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
52 PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
