Is it possible to turn groups in a regex match into variables?

Question

Let's say I have a string:

"15m8s"

I want my 2 variables (min, sec) to be 15 and 8

So I have this regular expression:

/(\d+)m(\d+)s/

Notice how it has 2 groups. When matched to the string, the matched groups will be: "15" and "8"

Is there any way to make a variable out of each group when matched?

Answers will be most helpful in JS or Kotlin, but I dont really care which language you are gonna use, I just want to know if it is possible in any language.

I know it is a really confusing question and I dont think I'm that good at explaining it so if you dont understand me, feel free to ask questions
