.TH PCRE_GET_SUBSTRING_LIST 3 .SH NAME PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions .SH SYNOPSIS .rs .sp .B #include <pcre.h> .PP .SM .B int pcre_get_substring_list(const char *\fIsubject\fP, .ti +5n .B int *\fIovector\fP, int \fIstringcount\fP, "const char ***\fIlistptr\fP);" . .SH DESCRIPTION .rs .sp This is a convenience function for extracting a list of all the captured substrings. The arguments are: .sp \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre_exec\fP used \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre_exec\fP \fIlistptr\fP Where to put a pointer to the list .sp The memory in which the substrings and the list are placed is obtained by calling \fBpcre_malloc()\fP. The convenience function \fBpcre_free_substring_list()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer needed. A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose address is in \fIlistptr\fP. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. The yield of the function is zero on success or PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained. .P There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the .\" HREF \fBpcreapi\fP .\" page and a description of the POSIX API in the .\" HREF \fBpcreposix\fP .\" page.
