Issue
I want to run file search over files like the guy shown here. I want to find the files containing string1 and string2 . Not string1 or string2. And most importantly the strings can be on different lines. I searched SO for it but I only found it with or clause and the regex is for the same line. Can you help me?
What I am looking for is some like this.
However I am using windows and my options are limited. Can I achieve this on eclipse?
Solution
Press Ctrl+H. Go to File Search tab select/check the "Regullar Expression" button and in the Containing text text box, use the blow regular expression
(?m)(?s).*(string1).*(string2).* --> Searches string1 first then string2.
If you want string2 to be searched first then use (?m)(?s).*(string2).*(string1).*.
To know about (?m) and (?s) go here
