SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre.h>
int pcre_copy_named_substring(const pcre *code,const char *subject, int *ovector,int stringcount, const char *stringname,char *buffer, int buffersize);
DESCRIPTION
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
  
code          Pattern that was successfully matched
  
subject       Subject that has been successfully matched
  
ovector       Offset vector that pcre_exec() used
  
stringcount   Value returned by pcre_exec()  
stringname    Name of the required substring
  
buffer        Buffer to receive the string
  
buffersize    Size of buffer
The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
