REGEX - Match a phrase and variants of it

[teo]

Hallo,

I have a long text

Inside it, I have to match:

the dog bit the cat
but
inside the long text, there are variants of it,
in example
(the uppercase is for explanation purpouse only):
the BLACK dog bit the cat

the dog bit the WHITE cat

the dog RAPIDLY bit the cat

---------------------------------------

So,

is there a way to match all the four cases,
knowing only this:

the dog bit the cat ?

------------------------

Important,
something helps me:

the additional words

black white rapidly

have a pre-fix, like §
So the four cases are :
the dog bit the cat

the §black dog bit the cat

the dog bit the §white cat

the dog §rapidly bit the cat
-------------------------------
In conclusion,
I have only:
the dog bit the cat

and need to match similar phrases with ONE inserted word
(the word has always a PREFIX).

This really does look like a homework assignment.
