anybody got a Sigil regex for words with all caps?

[Gregg Bell]

I'm looking for words with all caps (in a 57K doc) so I can apply small caps tags to them (if they're signs). Is there a Sigil regex for just finding words with all caps? Or if no Sigil regex, then a LibreOffice regex? Thanks

I don't have one for a phrase

Maybe you should use inverted logic look for the first Lower

(<p.*>)(.+)(\s[a-z])

Replace the opening P tag and wrap the first part in your span, then put the letter back
\1<span class="smallcap">\2</span>\3

Thanks ducks. That first one you gave me is perfect because I only need to use small caps on acronyms that are four letters or longer. And if there's a phrase there's always at least one word that's three letters so your regex will get me there and then I'll see the smaller words.

Thanks for the new one too. I'll experiment with it. Might come in handy in the future.
