Separating a long string in one colmun

GarMIngle
8 - Asteroid

This is what I have in one column:

 

Office SuppliesFurnitureOffice SuppliesOffice Supplies

Office SuppliesTechnology

 

This what I would like:

 

Office Supplies,Furniture,Office Supplies,Office Supplies

Office Supplies,Technology

 

I want to parse with comas so I can write a function using a portion of the long string not the entire string

Any thoughts, I ended up with Office Supplies in two rows not one, everything else work perfectly. Do not know what to do to fix. Limited skills

Hi @GarMIngle 

 

Please find the difference.

 

My Expression:

[A-Z][a-z]+\s[A-Z][a-z]+|[A-Z][a-z]+

 

Your Expression:

[A-Z][a-z]+\[A-Z][a-z]+|[A-Z][a-z]+

In the regex you were missing "s" for space.
