The 44 arguments are: 45 <pre> 46 <i>code</i> Compiled pattern 47 <i>subject</i> Subject that has been successfully matched 48 <i>ovector</i> Offset vector that <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> used 49 <i>stringcount</i> Value returned by <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> 50 <i>stringname</i> Name of the required substring 51 <i>stringptr</i> Where to put the string pointer 52 </pre> 53 The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling 54 <b>pcre[16|32]_malloc()</b>. The convenience function 55 <b>pcre[16|32]_free_substring()</b> can be used to free it when it is no longer 56 needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring, 57 PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or 58 PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid. 59 </P> 60 <P> 61 There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 62 <a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 63 page and a description of the POSIX API in the 64 <a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 65 page. 66 <p> 67 Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 68 </p> 69
