Can someone tell me the regular expression for this?

I am working with regular expressions, I need to create an expression for validating strings against the following scenario:

Solution.<word1|word2|word3>.<word4|word5>.anyword.(any word containing proj in it)

I tried 

Solution.\b(word1|word2|word3)\b.\b(word4|word5)\b.(.*).\b(.*proj)\b

But this allows strings like Solution.word1.word4.blabla.blabla.csproj, meaning it allows anything before the proj because of the .*.

Can someone help me with this??

It's hard to consider the actual strings you want to allow without more clarification.

You can try the following regular expression.

Solution\.word[123]\.word[45]\.\w+\.\w*proj\b

You might want to try (need to escape the . and allow capturing group to have chars except .):

Solution\.\b(word1|word2|word3)\b\.\b(word4|word5)\b\.([^\.]*)\.\b([^\.]*proj)\b

Looks like you need this regex:

Solution\.(word1|word2|word3)\.(word4|word5)\.([^.]+)\..*?\bproj\b
