.SH DESCRIPTION

|
.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_exec()\fP used
|
|
|
|
|
\fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre_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
|
2009-06-08 19:51:30 -04:00
|
|
|
\fBpcre_malloc()\fP. The convenience function \fBpcre_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.
