Hi all,

 I am new to the Regex world

I need a regex to match the words "AND/OR/NOT/NEAR/SAME" that is not with in the qoutes

For Example

"Printer AND Scanner" OR computer

should match only the word OR and not the "AND" with in quotes

Thanks 

You could try something like:

Source Text:
"Printer AND Scanner" OR NOT computer

Raw Match Pattern:
"[^"]*"|(?:(?:AND|OR|NOT|NEAR|SAME) *)+

$matches Array:
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => AND 
            [1] => "Printer AND Scanner"
            [2] => OR NOT 
        )

)
