- DESCRIPTION
- </b><br>
- <P>
- This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
- by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
- <pre>
- <i>match_data</i> The match data block for the match
- <i>name</i> Name of the required substring
- <i>buffer</i> Buffer to receive the string
- <i>bufflen</i> Length of buffer (code units)
- </pre>
- The <i>bufflen</i> variable is updated to contain the length of the extracted
- string, excluding the trailing zero. The yield of the function is zero for
- success or one of the following error numbers:
- <pre>
- PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING there are no groups of that name
- PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE the ovector was too small for that group
- PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET the group did not participate in the match
- PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY the buffer is not big enough
- </pre>
- If there is more than one group with the given name, the first one that is set
- is returned. In this situation PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET means that no group with the
- given name was set.
- </P>
