I submitted this function as well. The prototype is different from what I suggested earlier:

list_re_group(src_list, separator, include_re, search_re, group_1, group_2, ...)

The function first builds a result list by applying 'include_re' against each list element, then applies re_group(search_re, g1, ...) to each resulting element.

This thread provides an example of this function's use, to uppercase the last name of each author for a book:

program: list_re_group(field('authors'), ' & ', '.', '([^,]*), (.*)', '{$:uppercase()}, ', '{$}')

or

{authors:'list_re_group($, ' & ', '.', '([^,]*), (.*)', '[[$:uppercase()]], ', '[[$]]')'}
