I have no idea about the inner workings of the commands so forgive my heretic views.

Up to now, as shown in the attachment, for every saved search a numeric result is displayed and it's even possible to upload its result to the clipboard.

I presume that when we perform a group of saved searches, the individual results of each regex must be stored somewhere in memory.
There are two possible working ways
- either once all the regexes of the group have been played, the computer adds all these individual results and display the total figure.
- or after each iteration, the computer performs one more addition and finally displays only the final result of the last one (which is the same total as above).

Would it be possible not to perform any addition of any kind and just store automatically each individual result in the clipboard (or as a txt file)?
