How to use AND in regex

[kijak]

Can anyone describe the best way to use AND in REGEX:

Look for "land" AND "glory"

String: "The land of hope af glory" - MATCH
String: "The land of hope" - NO MATCH

Anyone?

Thanks,

Hi,

Dim r As New
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^(?=.*?\bhop e\b)(?=.*?\bglory\b).*$")

Dim s1 As String = "The land of hope of and glory"

Dim s2 As String = "The land of hope"

Debug.WriteLine(r.IsMatch(s1))

Debug.WriteLine(r.IsMatch(s2))

Thanks a lot - that did it!

What about upper case (Glory AND Hope - not glory AND hope)?

And I dont understand ^ at first and ? at the end. It seems to work without
them

Thanks for your help
