So, what is a word (for your purposes)? I think it's something like:

Code:

[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9\.,…’“”!?—-]*

A letter/digit followed by any number (as many as possible, possibly zero) of letter/digit/punctuation. You may want to include “ and ‘ in the "initial" class, and maybe & along with all the letters.

Now you want a number of words separated by spaces, how about (untested):

Code:

({word}\s+)\b

i.e.

Code:

([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9\.,…’“”!?—-]*\s+)\b
