    Hello all. I hope someone out there can help me.
    I have a huge list of sentences that i need to break at a certain point and it’s very time consuming to do it manually. I´ve been trying to use grep, but to this day i´m unable to find an expression that works (newbie).
    What i have is: sentence of all caps, space, normal word
    Example: ALL CAPS SENTENCE Word

    What i need is to break the sentence at the final of the all caps
    Example: ALL CAPS SENTENCE
    Word

    Is it possible to do this with grep?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Luis, try this using GREP Find/Change:

    Find What: (^[\u ]+\.?)([ ]+)
    Change to: $1\r$2

    Please let me know if it works…

    Hi Masood.
    Thank you for your answer but it doesn´t seem to work. I´m using CS6.
    If it helps, after “Word” there other “words”. The sentences are long, but i need the break in the first “Word”, as stated above.

    Thanks again.

    Luis, based on the text you gave in the starting, I created a code and tested it in CS6. If it is not working for you, then please supply some more text, lets say three to four paragraphs.

    The second “find” kinda works. Some sentences it breaks well others it breaks the caps in half.
    example: ALL CAPS
    SENTECE Word.

    Is it because some letters in the all caps contains “/” ?
    Example: ALL C/APs

    Obviously should only be 1 backslash in each not two.

    So, in the above example, where do you exactly wants to insert the line-break?

    Eugene, it worked. Thanks!

    Masood, the line break is at the end of the all caps.

    Thank you both for your help.
