Extract all Uppercase words from document into new attributes

Hello RM forum,

I'd like to extract all matches from an example set to a new attribute or even to multiple new attributes.

Example text:
We love DOGS. But CATS are cooler than BROWN FOXES.
This is my RegEx which finds all occurences (operator "generate extract":



The Problem is, that it will only generate the first match as a new attribute:



I want to get a new attribute containing all matches like:

test
DOGS;CATS;BROWN;FOXES

Is there a way to do this in Rapidminer?

Kind regards,

    Hi Marco. Thank you for your approach. That is a good way, I'll try this one!

    I would take a different approach to Marco, should achieve a similar result, but puts all the upper case words into a single attribute.  
    Try this one out and see what you think.
