+*************************************************/
+
+/* This function copies a single captured substring, identified by name, into
+new store. If the regex permits duplicate names, the first substring that is

+
+Arguments:
+  code           the compiled regex
+  subject        the subject string that was matched
+  ovector        pointer to the offsets table
+  stringcount    the number of substrings that were captured
+                   (i.e. the yield of the pcre_exec call, unless
+                   that was zero, in which case it should be 1/3
+                   of the offset table size)
+  stringname     the name of the required substring
+  stringptr      where to put the pointer
+
+Returns:         if successful:
+                   the length of the copied string, not including the zero
+                   that is put on the end; can be zero
