Hi Steve,

Yes. Still using wildcards, search for

<[A-Za-z]@>

The < and > mean the beginning and end of a word, the [A-Za-z] means "any
upper case or lower case letters", and the @ sign means "one or more
characters that match the preceding expression".
 
Try this:

^w^$

What that does is find a letter preceeded with a space. The only problem is
it'll find every word that follows a space, and not include those words that
start a new line as they don't have a preceeding space. Does this work
around help?
 
Thankyou both Very much
