Hello to all

I have a bilingual line in my document, something like

Presentation  |  Apresentacao

Inside a paragraph style, I created a GREP to apply a Character style from the "|" character on.

\x{007C}.+$

How could I changed it to apply this character format only AFTER the "|" character? I don't want include the | in the character style.

 

Thanks in advance

Rita

(?<=\|) \w+

This grep will find "1 space" and "word" after "|"

This expression will find everything after "|" up to the end of paragraph.

If your situation is just:

English | Spanish^p

your expression works.

    It would be easier to use nested styles.

      I used nested styles elsewhere, but here, sometimes I have 1 word, sometimes uo to 3 before the |

      It does not matter, the trigger to apply the character style is the |, not a number of words.
