in thread Multiple regexs into single combined regex using lookaheads

Ahh! I see you've added .* before each match. Many thanks for the working example.

Am I correct in thinking that both lookaheads must be anchored in the same position (which is ^ in the example above?)

Because they are both anchored at the start of the string, each lookahead can match multiple of any character before the string I'm looking for (e.g. name=bob) as this allows each lookahead to 'seek' forward independently, and succeed at a different point in the string?
