'Wild card' in find/replace changes 'any number' to ' ^ 9' instead of leaving as is.

During a search, find/replace in indd, using the generic specification for any number (^ 9), I would have thought the change would leave the numbers in their original state but it change them all to ' ^ 9' - how can I find a large document and remove all values in dollars using find/replace - e.g. AUD 3 234 to 3234 AUD?

Given that you have at least InDesign CS3, use GREP to search instead of text search:

Search: AUD (\d+)\h(\d\d\d)

Change from: AUD $1$ 2

Or probably even better, change to: $1, $2 ~.<>

$1 and $2 rely on the conclusions of the first and the second parenthesis.

~< adds="" a="" thin="" space="" between="" last="" number="" and="" currency="">
