find word and plus sign

Im trying to find using visual studio regex to find any line which contains at least 1 plus sign and the word enum one or more times.

To be clear: if it contains anywhere a plus sign and the sequence of letters "enum" with anything before, after and in between, it should return it.

Have tried many variations but no success:

\benum.+(?!\w)

^(?=.*enum)(?=.*\+).*$

Make sure you use multiline mode if your input string spans multiple lines.

Matches:

enum+
+enum
foobar+enum+barfoo
enumeration +
enumenum+

Does not match:

enum
+1
en+um

Explanation:

  • (?=.*enum) - Checks that the line contains "enum"
  • (?=.*\+) - Checks that the line contains a "+"
  • .* - Matches the entire text of the line
  • ^ and $ - Makes sure the entire line is matched
