fetch_named
Description:
Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named name
.
If name
is a valid sub pattern name but it didn't match anything (e.g. sub pattern "X", matching "b" against "(?P<X>a)?b")
then an empty string is returned.
The string is fetched from the string passed to the match function, so you cannot call this function after freeing the string.
Parameters:
this |
MatchInfo structure |
name |
name of the subexpression |
Returns:
The matched substring, or null if an error occurred. You have to free the string yourself |
