Need a regular expression

[jeepxo]

At some point I should really learn how to use these because they are really handy.

I want to add a spell checker to a web application, and have a great little one that will check individual words. Of course only Bill Shatner. Speaks. In. One. Word. Sentences. so I am looking for a regular expression that will give me each word in a sentence.

I'm thinking I need something that looks for a space then some text then a space.

Any suggestions on what the Regex looks like would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you could take your string and use the Split() function with space as a delimitter to create an array of words... then iterate through the array checking each word?

look for word boundary (/b) feature of Regular Expressions...

I would just use the array and split the string at a white space to separate the individual words in a sentence...
