字符串中多个字符串的正则表达式精确匹配

Question

I have an string of |DOGS|MAN|CAT| and I need to check that DOG and CAT exist in the string.

The input string is always split between pipes.

I have this at present:

((^|, )(?=.*\|DOG|\b.$)(?=.*\|CAT\b).*$)

This almost works, if my input string was |DOG|MAN|CAT| it is fine but as I have specified DOGS not DOG it should not match

Answer 1

This RegEx might help you to create a group, where you can list all your desired target string in it using a | (OR), and you may not bound it from left and right, if possible:

\b(DOG|CAT|ANYTHING|ELSE|THAT|YOU|WISH)\b
