I didn’t test it in a DB, sorry ’bout that.
I think others are on the right track here, using SQL for the AND functionality:
‘Select *
FROM [TABLE]
WHERE [regex search 1]
AND [regex search 2]
AND [regex search 3]....’
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the query, but it produced an error “invalid regular expression: quantifier operand invalid”.
Also, what would be the regular expression if you want to check whether all the words were in the field where you had say 10 words/phrases you wanted to check for?
‘(*\mtext1\M*\mtext2\M)|(*\mtext2\M*\mtext1\M)’
If I wanted to search for whole words in a field I would use something like:
Select * from mytable where myfield ~* ‘(\mtext1\M) | (\mtext2\M)’
This would find all instances of myfield containing either “text1” or “text2”.
I can’t figure out how to search myfield for all instances which contain “text1” AND “text2”.
In other words | is the OR operator. What is the AND operator. Tried + and whilst that executes, it doesn’t return matching fields.
Thanks
Mark
