I'm trying to find periods with zero or more whitespace characters after them. Everything I can find says this should work, but it doesn't work for strings that have no whitespace (looking for a capital letter followed by a period):
Hi @Thomas_Calvin , It’s also working for me with ExtendScript. Here it is via a function:
grepSearch("^[A-Z]\\.\\s*", "B. ")
/**
* Document Grep find and change
* @ param f the find grep string
* @ param c the change grep string
* @ return void
*/
function grepSearch(f,c){
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = app.findChangeGrepOptions = null;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = {includeFootnotes:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeMasterPages:true, wholeWord:false}
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = f;
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = c;
app.activeDocument.changeGrep( true )
}
