All-

Another question about pattern matching...

How would I go about matching three substrings in an abitrary order? ... the permutations of a set, I suppose.

Example:
Using {foo, bar, snafu}, match URLs such as:
foo-bar-snafu
bar-foo-snafu
foo-snafu-bar
bar-snafu-foo
etc.

I was thinkin' it be similar to ((foo|bar|snafu)?){3}, but this would also match patterns such as foo-foo-foo, which I don't necessarily want.

I'm looking to block URLs that include the HTTP header information (browser, OS, verions, etc).

Thoughts or ideas?

Thanks!

/((foo(?!.*foo)|bar(?!.*bar)|snafu(?!.*snafu))((.(?!foo|bar|snafu))*.)?){3}/
