3 PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
10 .B int pcre2_substring_copy_bynumber(pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP,
11 .B " uint32_t \fInumber\fP, PCRE2_UCHAR *\fIbuffer\fP,"
12 .B " PCRE2_SIZE *\fIbufflen\fP);"
18 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring into a given
19 buffer. The arguments are:
21 \fImatch_data\fP The match data block for the match
22 \fInumber\fP Number of the required substring
23 \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
24 \fIbufflen\fP Length of buffer
26 The \fIbufflen\fP variable is updated with the length of the extracted string,
27 excluding the terminating zero. The yield of the function is zero for success
28 or one of the following error numbers:
30 PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING there are no groups of that number
31 PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE the ovector was too small for that group
32 PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET the group did not participate in the match
33 PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY the buffer is too small
