I have the following strings in a large dataset.

 

I am looking for strings with this pattern:

 

1. SURNAME, Given Name

2. MADEUPSURNAME, Dagivenn Ame

3. MOREEXAMPLE, Hope Ithelps

 

I've tried; ^(\d+)\. ([A-Za-z]+), ([A-Za-z]+)$ but it only returns 1 out of many... not sure what I'm missing here.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Raj 

 

Thanks! But the numbers 1. 2. 3. are part of the string. 

 

Your formula works if the numbers are not included. Could you have a look and revise please?
