Add the 3rd and 4th optional args - the 3rd arg, where to start, should be set to 1, and the 4th, is a boolean that specifies if you want the matched expressions returned. You will get a struct of two arrays, pos and len, where pos[x] and len[x] is the position and length of the Xth matched subexpression.
