How to search files for two words in the same line

[wanderer]

I want to search a tree structure for any TEXT file that contains two specific words but they must be in the same line. Is there a way to achieve that using "Find files" dialog?

EDIT: I have had this need in the past too, so if it's not directly supported, i would like to add it as a wish.

wanderer,
Well, regex is limited to one line, so you can do

Code: Select all

word1.*word2

and then

Code: Select all

word2.*word1

If there was a tc.content field, one could chain them using OR, alas, I am not aware of a WDX which would simply return the content of a file.

Just tried it. Many thanks Hacker, it worked fine. And it also works the same way in the Lister!

[nsp]

Code: Select all

word1.*word2

in RegExp will match word1 and then word2 the order is taken into account.
If you want to match word2 then word1 you will have to also add the expression like :

Code: Select all

(word1.*word2)|(word2.*word1) 

With pcre you can use multiple lookahead but library inside TC is not as advanced

Well, my case was 1-way only (word1.*word2) but thanks for the OR reminder nsp.
