no demond,

it's not that.
I want that the code matches all string with "word" and "is". But it shouldn't match the words who contains "word" and "is"(badword,this,history...don't have matches).
I thought that to use \b was a solution to limit the word but it's not that.

If you can help me.

2005-08-16T02:07:15-04:00

Yes, i try with an example.

I want to match a string(with regexp) who contains the words "word" and "is".
In fact i don't want to match a word who contains the words.
"the word is simple"==>match
"this word "==>not match
"F**** is a badword"==>not match
......

thx

\b is RE escape for backspace and you don't have backspace

(?=re) is positive lookahead, valid in AREs (advanced REs) only, and I very much doubt it's that what you had in mind

(?<= is RE error
