pls add to Find help with NEAR two words in chosen distance with RegExp
I tried
\bword1\W+(?:\w+\W+){1,6}?word2\b
or (for possibility in reverse order)
\b(?:word1\W+(?:\w+\W+){0,5}?word2|word2\W+(?:\w+\W+){0,5}?word1)\b
but without success

Hi,
it seems, PSPad doesn't support non-capturing groups via: (?:abc)
you can probably try normal grouping parens (abc). - I only briefly checked the first pattern, and it seems to match somehow, but I don't know the actual specification, cornercases etc.
hth,
vbr
