Textpad for Foreniscs

I am a forensic analyst, and use Textpad for parsing logfiles. Once thing I need to know how to do, which I cannot seem to find anywhere, is how to search for multiple keywords.

For example, I would like to be able to search for a line containing say an IP address AND a specific port number. Does that make sense?

Anybody know how to search for multiple keywords in a single search?

use the pipe "|" separator

From TextPad HELP on Using Regular Expressions:

| Matches either the expression to its left or its right. Example: hop\|hoop matches hop, or hoop.
