Im trying to do something fairly simple with regular expression in php
What i want to do is matching words from a string no matter wherever that same character is. If its at the beginning of the string there is no whitespace required before - if its at the end, don't search for whitespace either.
Example :
String : "test.chris@rocketmail.com"
Word Search: "christest"
I want the output to be matched the word search from the string
I tried below pattern but its still not working 100% as expected
[^\s]+christest
I have tried here :
If you are looking for the existence of the two words chris and test anywhere in the string you can use a regexp with two lookaheads:
/(?=.*chris)(?=.*test).*/g
See here: https://regex101.com/r/milVww/1
If the existence of one of the target words is enough for you you can do:
/(?=.*(chris|test)).*/g
