      Hey Paul,

      I have a couple bits of advice. First is that when searching google for how to do thing with GREP, you will probably want to use the search term REGEX (REGular Expression). This will open up a whole new collection of answers to your questions. Adobe calls it GREP, but most other areas of computer science called it REGEX.

      Secondly, there is a some nice websites you may want to bookmark. In my case rubular.com has a place to test your REGEX/GREP statements and a place to enter the text you want to check against. This is generally a faster way to figure things out

      Finally, try out:

      p\S*

      I hope this helps
