Look at "r" construct of C-h f interactive.

To take a `buffer-substring' you don't need a region or set markers.
Simply any two points will do. How about
(buffer-substring-no-properties (point-at-bol) (point-at-eol))
If you are searching, and have a successful match you can do for
example,
(buffer-substring-no-properties (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))
I am not trying to solve your particular problem. I am just giving
hints for you to proceed ahead.
