For a string "I have a dog, a fish, and a cat", I would like to capture the groups in the order "dog", "fish", and "cat".
I have a Python regex that works the way I want, making the groups optional in case the string doesn't contain the groups. So "I have a dog and a cat" would still give me groups of "dog" and "cat".
^(?:.*(dog))?(?:.*(fish))?(?:.*(cat))?.*$
However I would like to capture the groups regardless of the orders of the groups in the regex. If the string is "I have a fish, a dog, and a cat", I only get the groups "dog" and "cat" when I would still like "dog", "fish", and "cat"
I originally used lookaheads with capture groups to ignore the order, but that only works if all of the groups are in the string. I've tried combining lookaheads with non-capture groups but can't seem to make it work.
Any help would be appreciated!
