if you need only the first match in each line the following will work:

put =map(filter(getline(1, '$'), 'match(v:val, ''your-pattern'') > -1'), 'matchstr(v:val, ''your-pattern'')')

getline(1, '$') retrieves the content of the current file as a list. This
list is filtered agains your pattern with

'match(v:val, ''your-pattern'') > -1'

The result of filter() is again a list of lines. Each of those lines is
replaced by the result of

matchstr(v:val, ''your-pattern'')

leaving you with a list of the first matches in all lines.

Regards,
Jürgen
