32: DESCRIPTION
33: </b><br>
34: <P>
35: This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring. The
36: arguments are:
37: <pre>
38: <i>subject</i> Subject that has been successfully matched
1.1.1.2 ! misho 39: <i>ovector</i> Offset vector that <b>pcre[16]_exec()</b> used
! 40: <i>stringcount</i> Value returned by <b>pcre[16]_exec()</b>
1.1 misho 41: <i>stringnumber</i> Number of the required substring
42: <i>stringptr</i> Where to put the string pointer
43: </pre>
44: The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
1.1.1.2 ! misho 45: <b>pcre[16]_malloc()</b>. The convenience function
! 46: <b>pcre[16]_free_substring()</b> can be used to free it when it is no longer
! 47: needed. The yield of the function is the length of the substring,
! 48: PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
! 49: PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.
