Add a number to Footnotes automatically at the end

Question

Hi

My document has footnotes. Format is :

1. This is Footnote number one

2. Footnote number two. Some footnotes are in multiple lines

3. This is another footnote.

I want something like this only at the footnotes. Not in the references.

1. This is Footnote number one. 1

2. Footnote number two. Some footnotes are in multiple lines. 2

3. This is another footnote. 3

I want the same number at the end also. Is it possible through GREP or a script ?

Thanks.

Ok I have managed to write my first script.Below is the script:

For some reason it is not working. There is not error of any sort. Its just not executing the change grep I guess. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks

convert();
function convert()
{
	app.findGrepPreferences = null;
	app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(~F)(~>.+)"
	var fn = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
	
	for (var i=1; i<= fn; i++){
	app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo="$0" + i;
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();}
	
}
