Thanks Robert, for taking the time to code all that. I have a function I'm using now has_both(string, regexp1, regexp2) which I use in an if statement, then I go back and extract the value(s). I was hoping there was a RegExp that matched two words so I could put everything into a nice case/when statement. I suppose there isn't, though.
