<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
This is a convenience function for extracting all the captured substrings after
a pattern match. It builds a list of pointers to the strings, and (optionally)
a second list that contains their lengths (in code units), excluding a
terminating zero that is added to each of them. All this is done in a single
block of memory that is obtained using the same memory allocation function that
was used to get the match data block. The convenience function
<B>pcre2_substring_list_free()</B> can be used to free it when it is no longer
needed. The arguments are:
<P>
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>match_data</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;match&nbsp;data&nbsp;block
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>listptr</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;a&nbsp;pointer&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;list
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>lengthsptr</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;a&nbsp;pointer&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;lengths,&nbsp;or&nbsp;NULL
<P>
A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose address is in
<I>listptr</I>. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. If <I>lengthsptr</I> is
not NULL, a matching list of lengths is created, and its address is placed in
<I>lengthsptr</I>. The yield of the function is zero on success or
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained.
<P>
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
<B>pcre2api</B>
page and a description of the POSIX API in the
<B>pcre2posix</B>
page.
