Re: [protege-user] Attribute search with 'AND' condition

I haven't tried using regular expressions in the Search, but if I'm
understanding what you want to do, there may be another way to do it. Just
to restate:

You have two annotation properties hasA and hasB and you want any entity
that contains the string "ABC" in hasA and "XYZ" in hasB. I wrote the
following and tried it on an ontology I'm working on now related to
environmentalism (using strings I thought should have at least one match)
and it worked:

PREFIX owl:  <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>
PREFIX rdf:  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX :  <https://www.michaeldebellis.com/climate_obstruction/>

SELECT *
WHERE {?e skos:definition ?s1.
               ?e rdfs:label ?s2.
               FILTER(CONTAINS(?s1, "claim") && CONTAINS(?s2, "the"))}

When I ran that in Snap SPARQL it worked:
