Please try this:
from [A-Z][a-zA-Z]+
with both the "Case sensitive" and "Grep" options enabled.
In summary, "from " will match these literal characters, while
the first _character class_ [A-Z] will match a single capital
letter, and the second _character class_ [a-zA-Z] modified by +
will match 'at least one or more' capital and/or lowercase letters.
(NB: You may wish to fine-tune this pattern depending on what
you want a "word" to consist of. :-)
As to grep references, I suggest you start with Chapter 8
"Searching with Grep" of the included PDF manual (available at
any time via Help -> User Manual) and work from there.

Hi,
Struggling to get my head around GREP...
I need to use Process Lines Containing function in BBEdit to
find all lines that contain the word "from" followed by a
space, followed by any word that begins with a capital letter
ie: He is from California
but not
He is from his mother
PS.Grateful if someone can recommend a "GREP for
non-programmers" written in plain(er) English so I dont have to
bother you very helpful people here.
Thanks :-)
