- SYNOPSIS

- <b>#include <pcre2.h></b>

- <P>
- <b>int pcre2_substring_get_byname(pcre2_match_data *<i>match_data</i>,</b>
- <b> PCRE2_SPTR <i>name</i>, PCRE2_UCHAR **<i>bufferptr</i>, PCRE2_SIZE *<i>bufflen</i>);</b>

- DESCRIPTION
- </b><br>
- <P>
- This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name into
- newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
- <pre>
- <i>match_data</i> The match data for the match
- <i>name</i> Name of the required substring
- <i>bufferptr</i> Where to put the string pointer
- <i>bufflen</i> Where to put the string length
- </pre>
- The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling the same
- memory allocation function that was used for the match data block. The
- convenience function <b>pcre2_substring_free()</b> can be used to free it when
- it is no longer needed. 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 memory could not be obtained
- </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>
