| 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.
