I want to be able to find groups of text all in uppercase (and any punctuation etc. in those groups) in my books then span the groups with a style. e.g. Find THE CAT SAT, ON THE-MAT, Replace same string with a span of Style tags around it.

I can easily single uppercase words, but I have no idea how to extend that search to include more than one word. Any help with that, and the code for the Replace would be greatly appreciated.
