Regex, how to find lines that contain both specified words?

how to find lines that contain both specified words - using Regex pattern?

For example, I need find lines, than contains both words 'MExp' and 'Aggregate'.

Thank you.

Solution

  • Let's say you have a file.

    abcde
fghijk MExp lmnopq Aggregate
fghijk MExp Aggregate lmnopq 
fghijk Aggregate lmnopq MExp 
fghijk Aggregate MExp lmnopq  
xywz

    If the order of the words are not relevant, the regex would be

    (MExp.*Aggregate)|(Aggregate.*MExp)

    If the order is important, use only the applicable one.

    MExp.*Aggregate or Aggregate.*MExp
