Notes:

This API requires the pattern to match at the start of the string.

Example:

Extract the matching groups from a piece of text:

$m = $lib.regex.search("^([0-9])+.([0-9])+.([0-9])+$", $text)

$re="(Name\:\s)(?P<valu>[a-z0-9]+)\s"
$form="ps:name"

function scrape(text, form) {
        $ret = $lib.list()
        for ($valu, $info) in $lib.scrape.genMatches($text, $re) {
