Find Bug - Need help...

[Guest]

I'm trying to search for acronyms that only have uppercase letters. I tried
using the Wildcard option enabled and I wouls use the pattern:

<[A-Z]*[A-Z]>

This search string would give me a phrase that starts with a capital letter
and end with a capital letter. For example, "This is a doG". It will
eventually give me the acronym, but with a lot of mis-hits.

Is there a way to make this search pattern only search for a single word?

Hi Jun,

Yes, * will match anything -- that's not a bug.

Try <[A-Z]{2,}> for words in capitals of two letters or longer.

If the "field separator" in Windows is a semicolon, use <[A-Z]{2;}>

Regards,
Klaus
