if the text conatins the key words discretion and physician , but the oder they appear varies. But I want to captuare only those records which have both discretion and phsycian in the text.

 

I can do a search by parsing the words in the order they might appear like as follows:

prxmatch("/(physician).*(discretion)|(discretion).*(physician)/oi",var_name).

 

i'm looking for alternate method where instead of passing it two times,is there a way I capture the record by parsing the key words just once?
