You could try this
my $data = "Antler embedded in mound at South Street, Avebury, Wiltshi
+re, England. Comment (lab): Collagen fraction used";
while($data =~ /([A-Z]\S+?)\s/g)
{
print $1." ";
}
Just remember that a lot of this contingent on your data, but that should work for any normal English paragraph with regular spacing rules.
UPDATE: I see a few monks pointing out words with two capital letters as a test case. This code will handle that as well since \S matches any non space character. It'll match "G!#^&*()-+_+234" if you gave it that. I actually tested that it works.
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
