PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

Description


       This  is  a  convenience  function for extracting a captured substring into a given buffer. The arguments
       are:

         subject       Subject that has been successfully matched
         ovector       Offset vector that pcre[16|32]_exec() used
         stringcount   Value returned by pcre[16|32]_exec()stringnumber  Number of the required substring
         buffer        Buffer to receive the string
         buffersize    Size of buffer

       The  yield  is  the  length  of  the  string,  PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY  if  the  buffer  was  too  small,  or
       PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number 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.
