PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
Contents
Description
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified by name, into a given
buffer. The arguments are:
code Pattern that was successfully matched
subject Subject that has been successfully matched
ovector Offset vector that pcre[16|32]_exec() used
stringcount Value returned by pcre[16|32]_exec()stringname Name of the required substring
buffer Buffer to receive the string
buffersize Size of buffer
The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was too small, or
PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the pcreapi page and a description of the POSIX
API in the pcreposix page.
