I need a match on "a AND is" when searching a sentence like "This is a test".
Regular expressions match sequences of characters. Your match says to match a string when both of 2 different matching possibilities exist anywhere
in
the string. To do this you must use 2 separate regular expression matches separating them by the normal C++ "&&" operator.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what's wanted, but wouldn't
is.*a
do what he wants? Or if they need to be matched in either order:
(is.*a)|(a.*is)
Yes, that should do it. It was my mistake to suggest that two matches would have to be used.
