.SH NAME
 | 
						|
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
 | 
						|
.PP
 |

.B int pcre2_substring_get_bynumber(pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP,
 | 
						|
.B "  uint32_t \fInumber\fP, PCRE2_UCHAR **\fIbufferptr\fP, PCRE2_SIZE *\fIbufflen\fP);"

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by number
 | 
						|
into newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fImatch_data\fP    The match data for the match
 | 
						|
  \fInumber\fP        Number of the required substring
 | 
						|
  \fIbufferptr\fP     Where to put the string pointer
 | 
						|
  \fIbufflen\fP       Where to put the string length
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
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 \fBpcre2_substring_free()\fP 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:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING   there are no groups of that number
 | 
						|
  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
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.P
