Regex for acronyms

[scavicchio]

I constantly have to find out the full form of acronyms.
In Trados, to find the long form of the acronym FMS, I go to the filter, choose Regex and case-sensitive, and type this expression in the Source field:
\bF\w+\sM\w+\sS\w+\b
Now I want to convert this expression for use in Xbench. I’ve tried several formulations, but I can’t get it to work.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sílvia

Try the following search:

"<F[^[:space:]]+> <M[^[:space:]]+> <S[^[:space:]]+>"
Case sensitive, PowerSearch: enabled.
Search mode: regular expressions

“<F[^[1]]+> <M[^[2]]+> <S[^[3]]+>”

Hi, Oscar!

It worked fine.

Thank you very much!
