I started a very similar response, but realized that with AND, stringa and
stringb could be in any order.  It took me a bit, but I believe the
following would do it.  Note that it is untested, however.
{{stringa}.*{stringb}}|{stringb}.*{stringa}}

Thomas,

there is to my knowledge no "AND" operator in  the TSE
implementation of regular expressions. None should be 
necessary, because you can usually define one reg. expression 
that requires both the sub-patterns to be present:

as a search pattern {stringa} AND {stringb} is equal to
"{stringa}{.*}{stringb}"

The lower line requires "stringa" and "stringb" to be present 
in one line, sepearted by any number of other characters,
including 0.
