How can I separate every single word from the string e.g. “GROUND ROUND STATION 49” in String Searcher by using regular expressions? I have never used regular expressions earlier.
Expression \\s*(\\w+)\\s* can select first word “ground” but how to obtain 2nd word, 3rd word, n word in single separate columns? By trial-error-method I got the second word by applying this expression \\s+(\\w+)\\s+. However how to create more general expresion?

The AttributeSplitter with a space as delimiter character will have the desired result without having to use regular expressions.

Stringsearchers can nowadays get all matches. (previously only possible by using a tcl regexp in a creator and setting the -all switch.
As @takashi pointed out, you just have to set both parameters, All Matches ad Submatches.
Submatches.part{} wil hold a list of all matches.
Of course as this case is a simple regexp (strings separated by a space) a splitter is also ok.
But for more complex regexp the splitter is of no use quickly.
^([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*)| ([A-Z]*) etc.. not sure how to get numbers to show yet
