A bracketed list in InDesign

Hi all. I am not super familiar with GREPs in InDesign. 

 

I need to create a list like this...

(a) 

(b)

(c)

 

I have managed to update it to have one bracket after the number but not sure how to get the bracket before the letter. Any help would be appreciated!

"^#" represents one character - same way as "^t" - and it means "current level".

 

For lower levels - you can use higher level - "^1" will insert value of the 1st level. You can insert them using the small triangle on the right of the "Number" field.
