Regexp AND (for searching code in intelliJ)

Question

i'm trying to find code in IntelliJ with regular expression search , to be able to have AND condition. i read this answer about the matter , but could not make it work i have this expression

^(?=.*platform) (?=.*SpringTestBase).*$ i have tried adding multiline /m at the end with no luck.

My Search string would be something like this

@MyAnnotation (profile=platform)
class SpringTestBase extends object {
 }

You need the dotall modifier so that `.` captures newlines or just use `[\s\S]*` instead of `.*` — MonkeyZeus, Dec 02 '20 at 17:30
if i try this one i get only 1 match `(?=[\s\S]*platform) (?=[\s\S]*SpringTestBase)` — Shlomi Cohen, Dec 02 '20 at 17:32
The space between the lookaheads is causing an issue. See https://regex101.com/r/HBHaT4/1 — MonkeyZeus, Dec 02 '20 at 17:34
@MonkeyZeus - i think its working with `(?=[\s\S]*platform)(?=[\s\S]*SpringTestBase)[\s\S]*` but in intelliJ this expression search takes foreever :-) — Shlomi Cohen, Dec 02 '20 at 17:46
This could be faster https://regex101.com/r/28RZKF/1 depending on your goal — MonkeyZeus, Dec 02 '20 at 17:53
@MonkeyZeus it is working - but in intelliJ does not return any results. — Shlomi Cohen, Dec 02 '20 at 18:03
I don't have intelliJ so you'll have to keep messing with it until it works as expected. — MonkeyZeus, Dec 02 '20 at 18:05
Note that `extends Object` is redundant. Every class implicitly is a subclass of `java.lang.Object`. — knittl, Dec 04 '20 at 07:26

You are better off using Structural Search and Replace functionality of IntelliJ, in Edit>Find>Search Structurally…:

@MyAnnotation(profile="platform")
class SpringTestBase {
}

This will automatically take care of whitespace normalization, different newline style, inheritance, etc. for you.
