Google Spreadsheets Regex - Separating first name with latin characters
I have a column in Google Spreadsheets that have full names. It looks like this:
Full_name
Acacio Bernardo
Carlos Moraes
André da Silva
I need to make it look like this:
Full_name First_name
Acacio Bernardo Acacio
Carlos Moraes Carlos
André da Silva André
I'm using the following:
=regexextract(B1;"\w*")
It works fine for the first two names ("Acacio" and "Carlos"), however in the third one instead of "André" I'm getting "Andr". I noticed that this regex expression doesn't work with accents and latin characters.
I tried to apply the regex in this post however seems that google spreadsheets doesn't support it (I get straight to an error, couldn't even explore it a little further).
Can someone help?
Solution
Use \S (non-space characters class) instead of \w:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1, "\S+")
