GREP expression - find Title Case

Question

Hello all,
ID CS4, Vista ultimate.
I'm trying to make GREP expression to find all words that starts with the
capital letter (like Italy, America, Europe, John, etc) and to mark them
with the character style. This is the expression that I figure out:
\<[A-Z]|[ÈÆ©®Ð]
The problem is that this finds the words but select only first, capital
letter and apply character style on this first letter but I want to apply
character style on whole word (not just on "J" in "John" but to entire
"John" word).
Is there anyone who knows how to make GREP expression to find entire words
that begin with the capital letter?
Hope this make some sense.
Thanks.

A slightly more efficient way could be
>\u\l+
-- i.e., one uppercase character followed by one or more lowercase characters. That's with a few reservations, though:
>\w
is 'a
i word
character -- and that includes upper- as well as lowercase, digits, the hyphen, and perhaps some more characters. I don't know about the (C) and (R)'s (what are they doing there?).
As a refinement on Peter's expression, though, there is no need to separate [A-Z] and [ÈÆ©®Ð] and then join them again using the OR | and parentheses. You can put everything inside the square brackets, as
>[A-ZÈÆ©®Ð]
means just that: A to Z
i and
the accented characters and (C), (R). Since you probably don't want to accidentally skip other accented characters (as the You Never Know Principle applies here), I'd suggest
>[\u©®]
