        For each string in the DataArray, extract groups from the first match
        of regular expression pat.

        If `pat` is array-like, it is broadcast against the array and applied
        elementwise.

        Parameters
        ----------
        pat : str or re.Pattern or array-like of str or re.Pattern
            A string containing a regular expression or a compiled regular
            expression object. If array-like, it is broadcast.
        dim : hashable or None
            Name of the new dimension to store the captured strings in.
            If None, the pattern must have only one capture group and the
            resulting DataArray will have the same size as the original.
        case : bool, default: True
            If True, case sensitive.
            Cannot be set if `pat` is a compiled regex.
            Equivalent to setting the `re.IGNORECASE` flag.
        flags : int, default: 0
            Flags to pass through to the re module, e.g. `re.IGNORECASE`.
            see `compilation-flags <https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html#compilation-flags>`_.
            ``0`` means no flags. Flags can be combined with the bitwise or operator ``|``.
            Cannot be set if `pat` is a compiled regex.

        Returns
        -------
        extracted : same type as values or object array

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            `pat` has no capture groups.
        ValueError
            `dim` is None and there is more than one capture group.
        ValueError
            `case` is set when `pat` is a compiled regular expression.
        KeyError
            The given dimension is already present in the DataArray.
