How can I search for all uppercase [complete] words in a doc?

[Guest]

I am trying to compile a glossary of abbreviations used in my thesis (should
probably have done it as I went along ), and would like to search for all
complete words which are all in uppercase characters. I have tried wildcards
such as [A-Z]*[A-Z], but this also matches white space.

Thanks.

Try using <[A-Z]{2,}>

(less than, left bracket, uppercase A, hyphen, uppercase Z, right bracket,
left brace, two, comma, right brace, greater than)

In other words, two or more uppercase characters bounded by a start of word
and an end of word.

Enjoy,
Tony
