Question

How do you write a regex to match if any two words are present in a string, in any order?

Ie, I’m trying to write a regex that would find any string with “reset” and “password” in it, case insenstive. So, these should match:

• Reset password
• Password reset
• You reset your password
• Your password reset request
• Your password has been reset

And these should not match

• password
• reset
• password changed
• account reset

The closest I got was: /(password|reset)/, but that finds every case, and when I tried (password|reset){2} it didn’t match any. Testing this out on rubular.

Answer 1

You can try

(password.*reset|reset.*password)
