  Furthermore, is it possible to tell GREP, not to put in parentheses of the years which are in ITALICS (green color)?

  Any idea?

  Thanks for any info!

  See you soon,.

  Search

  \b([12]\d\d\d(-[12]\d\d\d)?) \b

  and replace with

  ($1)

  To avoid italics, put 'Regularly' in Format find-> basic Charactrer Formats-> Font Style (you may need to click on 'Other Options' in the search box).

  The search expression is

  \b word boundary (to avoid the 5 digits)

  (begin set marked - recalled with "$1"in the field replace ")

  [12] the first digit should be '1' or '2' (this is perhaps exaggerated)

  ... followed by three digits \d\d\d

  (-[12] \d\d\d)?     ... possibly followed by '-2006' - the question mark makes this optional subgroup.

  ) marked together end

  Word \b security boundary.

  The brackets are that 'special' in the search, so you should not escape in the field replace.

• Grep for inbetween and include commas

  Hello

  I'm a newbie on the front GREP.

  I would like to apply a GREP to modify the characterstyle for the "no dates":

  XY event

  10 August-30, August 4, 11, 8, not

  Obviously, the non-dates vary. So I would need to get a GREP parentheses which takes into account.

  Has anyone ever done something similar to that?

  Cheers for all your help!

• GREP style - apply character style to the opening and closing parentheses surrounding a 0 (but not 0)

  Hello

  I'm relatively new to GREP style and will have to put in shape about 600 postcards containing various data (via the merger of data), including phone numbers. Consider the following data set:

  1. + 44 (0) 123467800

  2 (©) copyright

  3. (name of the program)

  I want to tell Indesign to stagger the opening and the closing parenthesis of the baseline (with a character style), but only the bracket that include a 0 and, possibly, without affecting the 0 value between them.

  Seems like an easy task, but it is impossible to find a solution. Could someone help?

  Thank you very much

• grep to change the sign less parenthesis

  I do a lot of tables that come from different data worksheet that displays negative numbers with a sign under or inside the parentheses. For consistency, I would like to be able to change the sign less in parentheses. No chance is something that could be done with GREP?

  as an example:

  taking this-

  -123.00

  -345.00

  678.00

  -910.11

  and turn it into this:

  (123.00)

  (345,00)

  678.00

  (910.11)

  Try this

  To find:

  (-) (\d+\.\d+)

  Change:

• Grep to remove parentheses and add dash here

  Hi guys,.

  I have long paragraph Notes with parenthesis between the numbers.  Here is the sample photo

  

  How can I write a GREP command for

  (1) remove all parentheses in the list (as in the example number 1 in the text)

  (2) add a space after the number

  (3) add the Indent here at the beginning of the text.

  If it's too complicated just with the removal of the brackets would be great!

  Thanks for any help and best!

  S

  Your typical grep added a tab and a return. My grep has added to the tab.

  If you want to use the indent to here instead, try to use this to replace it:

  $2 ~ m ~ I

  This will give you the number, an m-space and character dash out.

• GREP which finds content in brackets which happens at the end of a paragraph.

  I'm trying to troubleshoot this GREP that detects the content in brackets when the parentheses closing is at the end of a paragraph.

  That's what I have, but it does not work:

  (?<=\().*? (?=\)) $

  I want it to find: (Mauris 33: 3) but not (Phasellus ac nigh) in the example below:

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, adipiscing elit computer. CRAs ac diam tellus. (Phasellus ac nigh) pharetra, vehicula nisi, ultrices magna. (Mauris 33: 3)

  Thank you.

• GREP directory which is in brackets, but not when it is in brackets

  I'm trying to find a GREP that will help me to find content that is in parentheses, but not when it is contained in square brackets.

  For example:

  He would find: (John 02:22) but not (John 02:22 [this is a test])

  And It would be: (2 Peter 02:22) but not (2 Peter 02:22 [12 times])

  
  

  Thank you.

• Find and replace GREP

  I'm looking for formatting a document with a lot of this format

  (g) If an organization wants to launch a station of the line, it must have enough personal certification B1 and B2. This means that they must have sufficient personnel who are B1 and B2 licensed and which have undergone a process of qualification allowing them to release the planes returned to service after that maintenance was performed.

  like to remove the first letter in parenthesis paragraph Style Normal and apply the paragraph Style letter list.

  If I apply the new style I have to manually remove the letter in parenthesis.

  I tried Grep ^ \([\l\u]\) I have also some letters in brackets in the document, it will search only for this, at the beginning of the paragraph. that's the law.

  Any help would be much appreciated I basically just composed the GREP without a clue what I'm doing, I'm learning but rather slowly.

  Thanks, sorry that it is confused, I'm here for any question.

  The trick to remove the text AND change the style of a sudden is to have a replacement value in the field changes or only changes to style. Your grep looks good, then it would take a minor amendment:

  Search: ^ (\([\l\u]\)) (.), and change $ 2 with the style in the change Format settings. $2 is the second subexpression-(.) at the end - and everything that you do replace the first character after your parentheses with himself.

• Can I use GREP to transform every fourth tab back?

  I have a huge file with tabs plus 5,000, and only every fourth tab must be changed for a return. Is this possible using GREP or ANY OTHER METHOD and pressing back another me having to manually select each fourth tab?

  This screen is pulled before running GREP? You don't mention he had already returns after the names in some places.

  You need the * after all the [^ \t] elements, but avoids the. +. [^ \t] is a negative class, that means anything that is not a tab, and the * means 0 or more times.

  And you said every fourth tab, so it's actually the tab after the postal code, and which seems to do what you ask. If you want to change the tab after the name on the first line, I this would address differently.

  Find ^(.*?\t.*?) (\t) (?!\(\d{3}\)) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph (if there is) followed by a tab and more characters (if there are any), then a followed by three digits in parentheses DO NOT tab, and change $ 1 which should only change the tabs after the names. It is, however to change the tab after the postal code if the following line does not begin with three digits in brackets.

  Looking at the ads, are you sure you want to change this tab for a paragraph, rather than just a forced line break return (you can do by changing to $1\n)? It depends on how your styles are implemented...

• Find whole words with Grep Style

  Hi, need some help with this, he cannot know.

  I need to find some words in the style of a paragraph. I have created a character style to 'be bold' and you want to paraghaph style 'ainesosat' to use it when there are words in the paragraph.

  the words are for example

  Rasvaton maitojauhe

  Maitojauhe

  Juustojauhe

  Kerma

  VOI

  I know I can find these with this string:

  Rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe: Kerma. VOI

  but I don't want to find for example:

  Voimakassuolainen

  -includes "Voi".

  Also the words could begin with capital letter or not. I can of course dublicate chain and do both, with or without capital letters, but if there is a better solution for it, I'd be happy to hear...

  Tero

  1. add parentheses and word limits:

  \b(rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe | Kerma. \B voi)

  2. Add the flag "ignore case" at the beginning:

  (? i) \b(Rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe | Kerma. \B voi)

  See InDesign help | Find/replace for GREP options. You can use almost all the search commands in a GREP style, but does not replace those. ('Almost', because a GREP style, by definition, is limited to a single paragraph to work, and tempting to cross paragraphs automatically him will fail.)

• Escape the open and closed parenthesis characters

  I'm close to finishing a script that could find - at the end of a graf - text in brackets and throw on top of the graf.

  However, when there is text between parenthesis in the middle of the graf, I have problems with a negative lookahead.   I can't get GREP jump spent "(example of text between brackets)" in the middle of the graf. "

  Example of problem:

  Here is the text of example of what I want to accomplish.  Notice that it has (example of text in brackets) in the middle of the graf.  It also has the text at the end of the graf in parens I want to capture. (xxxxx/xxxxx xxxxxx)

  Example of Solution:

  XXXXX/xxxxx xxxxxx

  Here is the text of example of what I want to accomplish.  Notice that it has (example of text in brackets) in the middle of the graf.  It also has the text at the end of the graf in parens I want to capture.

  If the closing parenthesis is the last thing in your paragraph, you can use (------([^ ()] +?-)) $

• GREP style allows text in square brackets

  I'm just starting to understand some ways that I can use GREP in the messy confusion of the documents that I have to work here, so patient with me...

  We have a load of technical writers here who do not necessarily have a lot of experience InDesign, but be used to enter text. A text must be "BOLD" to attract the attention of the end user, so I thought I could use GREPs for apply a bold style to certain words and phrases that occur in any of the documents. Such a forum is intended for users to renew the clips or bolts or similar, so I did what I think is a GREP which finds 'renew' and applies to every word between it and a return or a period (but exclude the word "renewed", because the other permutations that follows):

  renew (?.) Ed.*?). +(\.| \r)

  That works very well in most places. But I fell on cases where there is an image reference in parentheses after the occurrences of 'renew' in places (such as "you must renew the clips (see figure 6)'") and I would like to exclude the media and their content of style. But as a beginner, I had a little if bogged down hit brick walls trying to find ways to do it. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

  Thanks for any help.

  Doug, you use GREP (to find and replace) or GREP Styles? (by your description of what it does)

  If GREP Styles:

  1 no need to use (\. | \r) at the end GREP Styles automatically stop at the end of each paragraph.

  2. no need to use (?) Ed.*?) a simple (?.) ED) is enough here, as long as this corresponds to what didn't really matter if / what follows.

  Try it shorter:

  renew (?.) ED) [^ ()] +

  -This text makes bold to 'renew' and the end of the paragraph * or * up to the first parenthesis.

• Help please with GREP

  Can someone help me please by providing specified in find what and Change of GREP expressions for the following?

  I have the documents where I want to change the format of all of the text in brackets, including parentheses and colons.

  In other words "(P123a):

  The problem is that the text in parentheses does not follow a rigid structure always a character followed by three digits and a letter.

  I tried to use several jokers, but just can't understand for the life of me.

  Seems to me that there should be a way to create a GREP expression that everything between the parentheses, Yes?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this problem for me.

  ([Find------([^-])] +-):

  It is a beautiful interlude followed everything that isn't a close parnethesis until a closing parenthesis, the fence and the colon. This will isolate each group rather than match the longest string if more than one is present.
