.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring. The
 | 
						|
arguments are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fIsubject\fP       Subject that has been successfully matched
 | 
						|
  \fIovector\fP       Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
 | 
						|
  \fIstringcount\fP   Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
 | 
						|
  \fIstringnumber\fP  Number of the required substring
 | 
						|
  \fIstringptr\fP     Where to put the string pointer
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
 | 
						|
\fBpcre[16|32]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
 | 
						|
\fBpcre[16|32]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
 | 
						|
needed. The yield of the function is the length of the substring,
 | 
						|
PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
 | 
						|
PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.
