Reply To: GREP to find proper name BUT exclude a titles

Clair,

The grep was slightly different.
(?!(Assistant|Chief)))(?=(\u\w+ \u\w+))(\u\w+ \u\w+)

It was Jongware’s initial expression with the addition of a positive lookahead.

Jongware’s is saying, look for an instance of two capitalized words in a row that do not include “Assistant” or “Chief”.

Mine would be a second Grep Style that says, look for an instance of two capitalized words only when there are two capitalized words preceding it and they don’t include “Assistant” or “Chief”. It no-breaks just the names.

Setting to “No Language” in Jongware’s original expression is a fantastic idea. That is why I love these forums. I am always learning a new trick.
