GLib.MatchInfo.prototype.fetch_named

function fetch_named(name: String): String {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_match_info_fetch_named()
}
  

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.

Since 2.14

name

name of the subexpression

Returns

The matched substring, or null if an error occurred. You have to free the string yourself
