That was an error in the posted expression, which I've now fixed.

A special wildcard lookup table I have suggests that these may be necessary to separate items in an expression, but that if a space needed to be indicated, ^w would have to be used. Is this correct?
No, if you need to indicate an space, as distinct from any whitespace (which includes tabs & non-breaking spaces), you'd insert an actual space as I have done. In any event, ^w isn't valid in a wildcard Find expression so, if you wanted to capture all whitespace characters, you'd have to specifically add each one to the expression (e.g. [ ^0160^t]).
