Thanks a lot for the links, they were very helpfull. Is there a way to use a 
regex for looping through all matches? Something like scan(....) in a for 
each loop or findall in python-re? I was able to figure out that the Text 
property holds the first match, Submatches is an array of given submatches 
(in parenthesis) and Offset holds the index if the first match. There seem to 
be no other properties defined...
