Maybe just an OR operator   could be enough for your problem   String  foo bar baz  Regex   foo   baz   Result    foo    baz

Maybe you are looking for something like this  If you want to select the complete line when it contains both  foo  and  baz  at the same time  this RegEx will comply that      foo     baz      baz     foo

It is impossible for both    foo  and    baz  to match at the same time  It would require the next character to be both f and b simultaneously which is impossible   Perhaps you want this instead        foo      baz    This says that foo must appear anywhere and baz must appear anywhere  not necessarily in that order and possibly overlapping  although overlapping is not possible in this specific case because the letters themselves don t overlap
