<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by number
into newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
<P>
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>match_data</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;match&nbsp;data&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;match
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>number</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Number&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;required&nbsp;substring
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>bufferptr</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;the&nbsp;string&nbsp;pointer
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>bufflen</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;the&nbsp;string&nbsp;length
<P>
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling the same
memory allocation function that was used for the match data block. The
convenience function <B>pcre2_substring_free()</B> can be used to free it when
it is no longer needed. The yield of the function is zero for success or one of
the following error numbers:
<P>
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there&nbsp;are&nbsp;no&nbsp;groups&nbsp;of&nbsp;that&nbsp;number
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;ovector&nbsp;was&nbsp;too&nbsp;small&nbsp;for&nbsp;that&nbsp;group
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;group&nbsp;did&nbsp;not&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;match
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;memory&nbsp;could&nbsp;not&nbsp;be&nbsp;obtained
<P>
