Extract Capitalized Words From String

Hi

I have these strings in Column B:

Benzylpenicillin Panpharma pul.t.inj.+inf.,opl.6 mg/ml intravenøst 100 ml kl 00:00 + 100 ml kl 06:00 + 100 ml kl 12:00 + 100 ml kl 18:00
Digoxin DAK tabletter 62.5 mikg peroralt1 tablet 1 gang(e) Daglig
Furix tabletter 40 mg peroralt2 tabletter til morgen + 1 tabletter til middag
Unikalk SIlver tabletter peroralt1 tablet til morgen og til aften
Ciprofloxacin Fresenius Kabi inf.væske, opløsning 2 mg/ml intravenøst 200 ml kl 08:00 + 200 ml kl 20:00

I'd like to extract all the Capitalized words in the above strings into Column A such that Column A will reflect this:

Benzylpenicillin Panpharma
Digoxin DAK
Furix
Unikalk SIlver
Ciprofloxacin Fresenius Kabi

I've searched the Web and haven't found any references to this kind of extraction. You're help will be greatly appreciated.

Digoxin DAK tabletter 62.5 mikg peroralt1 tablet 1 gang(e) Daglig does not fit a pattern
as Daglig is also upper case

I'll deal with the anomalies if I can get a solution to the issue.

Hello John,

Here is the solution. I ran it against the data the posted and the results match. Give a try on a copy of the actual data and let me know what happens.

Hi Leith

As always, your code gives me exactly what I was looking for. I had to add these Dim statements

Hello FN2010,

Regular Expressions can parse almost any type of text. I would need to see before and after samples of what you want. The more the better. You should start a new thread since this one has been marked solved.
