getregion({pos1}, {pos2}, {type}) *getregion()*
Returns the list of strings from {pos1} to {pos2} as if it's
selected in visual mode of {type}.
For possible values of {pos1} and {pos2} see |line()|.
{type} is the selection type:
"v" for |charwise| mode
"V" for |linewise| mode
"<CTRL-V>" for |blockwise-visual| mode
You can get the last selection type by |visualmode()|.
If Visual mode is active, use |mode()| to get the Visual mode
(e.g., in a |:vmap|).
This function uses the line and column number from the
specified position.
It is useful to get text starting and ending in different
columns, such as |charwise-visual| selection.
Note that:
- Order of {pos1} and {pos2} doesn't matter, it will always
return content from the upper left position to the lower
right position.
- If 'virtualedit' is enabled and selection is past the end of
line, resulting lines are filled with blanks.
- If the selection starts or ends in the middle of a multibyte
character, it is not included but its selected part is
substituted with spaces.
- If {pos1} or {pos2} equals "v" (see |line()|) and it is not in
|visual-mode|, an empty list is returned.
- If {pos1}, {pos2} or {type} is an invalid string, an empty
list is returned.

The result is a String, which is type of register {regname}.
