<P>
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
</P>
<P>
<pre>
  <i>code</i>          Pattern that was successfully matched
  <i>subject</i>       Subject that has been successfully matched
  <i>ovector</i>       Offset vector that <b>pcre_exec()</b> used
  <i>stringcount</i>   Value returned by <b>pcre_exec()</b>
  <i>stringname</i>    Name of the required substring
  <i>buffer</i>        Buffer to receive the string
  <i>buffersize</i>    Size of buffer
</PRE>
</P>
<P>
The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
