Question

I’m trying to create a Regex with jQuery so it will search for two words in an attribute of an XML file.

Can someone tell me how to return a result that contains BOTH words (sport and favorite) in any order and any case (upper or lower case)?

var regex = new RegExp("sport favorite", 'i');

var $result = $(data).filter(function() {
                    if($(this).attr('Description')) {
                        return $(this).attr('Description').match(regex);
                    }
          });

If they may be separated by any character, you could do it like this:

var regex = new RegExp(".*sport.+favorite.*|.*favorite.+sport.*", 'i'); 

(This assumes that no other word in the attribute contains the substring favorite or sport.)
