title: How to re.search() multiple patterns in python?
body: <p>I have a list like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>['t__f326ea56',
   'foo\tbar\tquax',
   'some\ts\tstring']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to get results in 4 different variables like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>s1 = 't__f326ea56'
  s2 = ['foo', 'some']
  s3 = ['bar', 's']
  s4 = ['quax', 'string']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Normally I could do a search like <code>re.search(r'(.*)\t(.*)\t(.*)', lst).group(i)</code> to get the s2, s3, s4. But I can't do simultaneous search for all 4. Is there any special option in re module that I can use?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
