29 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name. The
32 \fIcode\fP Compiled pattern
33 \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
34 \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
35 \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
36 \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
37 \fIstringptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
39 The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
40 \fBpcre[16|32]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
41 \fBpcre[16|32]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
42 needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring,
43 PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
44 PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
