Obtain a count of hits in a query of regexes

I am searching for a list of regexes in a splunk alert like this:

... | regex "regex1|regex2|...regexn"

Can I modify this query to get a table of the regexes found along with their count. The table shouldn't show rows with 0 counts.

regex2 17
regexn 3

Great answer @to4kawa.

Looks like | regex line is not needed. This is working for me. Notice the extra brackets.

| rex max_match=0 "(?P<countfields>((regex1)|(regex2)|..|(regexn)))"
| stats count by countfields
