Hello, I need some help on RegEx to detect First and Last names. This is what I currently have: /([A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]* [A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*)/
This is used to detect a First and Last name where two words are next to each other that begin with a capital letter. So it will detect: John Smith Jane Smith I run into problems where the name is close to the beginning of the sentence: Having John Smith over for dinner. --- This will look at "Having John" Getting Jane Smith ready for school. --- This will look at "Getting Jane" Do you know how to do a RegEx where it will ignore the first word whenever three capitalized words are next to each other?
