Regex extract mutliple values

Question

I have a string that looks like this: "60% Bob Peterson, 35% Jake Peter Sullivan, 5% Maria Teresa".

I want to write a regex to grab the first word after %:

Desired output: "Bob, Jake, Maria"

So far I came up with this: %\W*(\w+)

But it is only grabbing the first instance. I need to grab all instances and print them separated with a comma.

You can use Python inside Tableau using TabPy

import re

string = "60% Bob Peterson, 35% Jake Peter Sullivan, 5% Maria Teresa"
result = re.findall(r'\d+%\s(\w+)', string)
print(', '.join(result))

In the tableau, you cant loop the regex check, hence use Python
