Introduction to Library Functions          PCRE_COPY_SUBSTRING(3)



NAME
     PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

     #include 

     int pcre_copy_substring(const char *subject, int *ovector,
          int stringcount, int stringnumber, char *buffer,
          int buffersize);

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_exec() used
       stringcount   Value returned by pcre_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.
