SYNOPSIS
  #include <pcre.h>

  int pcre_get_substring(const char *subject, int *ovector,
       int stringcount, int stringnumber,
       const char **stringptr);

DESCRIPTION
  This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring. The
  arguments are:

    subject	  Subject that has been successfully matched
    ovector	  Offset vector that pcre_exec() used
    stringcount	  Value returned by pcre_exec()
    stringnumber  Number of the required substring

  The yield 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.

  There is a complete description of the PCRE API in the pcreapi page.
