Extracting matched expressions

Hadley Wickham 
Hi all,

Is there a tool in base R to extract matched expressions from a
regular expression?  i.e. given the regular expression "(.*?) (.*?)
([ehtr]{5})" is there a way to extract the character vector c("one",
"two", "three") from the string "one two three" ?

Thanks,

Hadley
