Parse and Separate Multiple Names with and without Spaces

PWaicus

Hi.  I have a field that contains multiple individuals' first and last names; however, there is no space between the first individual's last name and the next individual's first name.  I'm trying to separate them out - please see below:

 

Examples:

1)  John SmithBob Jones

2)  Sally JohnsonBob JonesAmy Johnson

 

Desired Outcomes:

1)  John Smith/Bob Jones

2)  Sally Johnson/Bob Jones/Amy Johnson

 

Thanks!

Hi @PWaicus,

 

Is the first letter of both surname and lastname the only uppercases in your datasource?

 

Best,

Yalmar

Hi - Correct.  I've been trying to use Regex with \l and \u but haven't had any luck.
