I'm trying to figure out how to get the text captured by capturing
groups out of a regex match. For instance, let's say I have the pattern
"foo ([^ ]+)" and I match it against the string "This is a foo sentence
I am reading." The group in the pattern will match the word "sentence"
in the target string. How can I get access to this matched group? All
I can seem to get the various grep/gsub functions to do is return or
modify the entire target string. Isn't there a way to extract ONLY the
text from a particular group or groups?
Thanks,
