does anybody know if there is a way to capture the result of a global

for example in perl i can do the following
string =~ /(pattern1)someword/i
and $1 will contain patter1.
is something like this possible in vim scripting?
You don't mention explicitly where you want it. You can use
:redir
to capture to various locations (variables, files, registers).
You can read more at
:help :redir
Alternatively, you can append the resulting matches:
:let s ='' |g/pattern/let s += getline('.')
-tim
