Apply a character style to text that appears within parentheses

Question

Hello. I've tried this (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/grep-query/m-p/14365227) for applying a character style to text within parentheses but must not be changing the correct portion of the string to ( ).

You can do with the a GREP style but these strings can be tough to troubleshoot: could you show your GREP as is appears in the style options dialog box? (Not copy/paste the string here?)

Hi @Parny:

Nevermind! I see the issue. The OP was targeting text within brackets. You are targeting text within parentheses.

This would do it: \(\K[^\]]+?(?=\))

But: you want to include the parentheses., so

\(.+?\)

Since this is an entirely different question, I'm going to move it to its own thread.

Can you share a screenshot that includes the GREP style and the result? ~Barb
