Hello,

So you need to split basically at "Special Characters"?

Can you try with :punct: ? It basically considers these characters:

! ' # S % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ / ] ^ _ { | } ~

BR,

Suhas

Hi,

How about something like this?



^[(A-Z)(a-z), '-]*

Please note few characters like comma, space, apostrophe, hyphen. You could add any character that you want.

Does this help??
