With a recent enough Vim, you can make use of :s command and execute VimL
on the replacement part while not modifying the match (by using the 'n'
flag):


fu! CopyMatches(match)
if !exists("g:a")
let g:a = []
endif
call add(g:a, a:match)
endfu

:%s/foobar/\=CopyMatches(submatch(0))/gn
:new +put\ =g:a

Christian
