I changed the regular expression to "(\\w+)\\s+" - no change.

To extract all words, no matter the spaces, commas or points, I use this RegEx
(\w+)
Just a few interesting links to help building and debugging RegEx.
Here is a link to RegEx documentation:
perlre - perldoc.perl.org[

Here is links to tools to help build RegEx and debug them:
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[
^]
Expresso Regular Expression Tool[
^]
RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx[
^]
Online regex tester and debugger: PHP, PCRE, Python, Golang and JavaScript[
^]
This one show you the RegEx as a nice graph which is really helpful to understand what is doing a RegEx:
Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[
