Regex Match Phrase with Different Symbols

I have here a phrase AAC Barcode Description that regex should match.

The problem is sometimes I have underscore, symbols etc…
like

• AAC Barcode + Descriptions
• AAC Barcode + Description
• AAC Barcode & Descriptions
• AAC Barcode and Description

REGEX

\b\w*AAC Barcode Description\w*\b

>Solution :

You can use

\w*AAC Barcode(?:\s+and\s+|\W+)Description\w*

See the regex demo. Note that word boundaries are redundant in this case when used with \w*s. If you want to match this string is a whole word, you need to remove \w*s and keep \bs:

\bAAC Barcode(?:\s+and\s+|\W+)Description\b

Details:

• \w* – zero or more word chars
• AAC Barcode – a fixed string
• (?:\s+and\s+|\W+) – a non-capturing group matching either and enclosed with one or more whitespaces or one or more non-word chars
• Description – a fixed string
• \w* – zero or more word chars
