Matchtext for multiple words

I passed three random words to your script (list,house,dog) and got this 
regex from it:

(?is)\b(list|house|dog)\b\b(?!\1)(list|house|dog)\b\b(?!\1|\2)(list|house|dog)\b

My test then goes through a bunch of text files on disk and applies the 
regex to the text of each file like this:

put matchText(tText, tRegex) into tMatch

I don't get any matches though, and my knowledge of regex is too limited 
for me to know if I'm doing something wrong. Does this look right to 
you? I think there should have been at least 2 matching files (that's 
what some of the other scripts produced.)
