Trying to figure out GREP find and change code for a particular character in this case below an
en dash: (~=) to the end of the paragraph
Arch A. Moore, III – Executive Vice President, Middleburg Market Executive
to
Arch A. Moore, III – Executive Vice President, Middleburg Market Executive
This is probably a very ease one. Appreciate the help if you can give it.
Thanks,
Scott
Easy with a GREP Style, no need for search and replace.
The GREP expression is (?<=–).+
That’s an en-dash before the closing parenthesis. In this example the en dash is not italicized.
(?<=
This is a positive look behind. It finds text that follows the specified character or characters.
–
The en dash for the positive look behind to find.
)
The closing parenthesis for the positive look behind expression
.
Wildcard, meaning any character
+
Repeat one or more times. This is applied to the wildcard, meaning the expression will find any characters after an en dash up to the end of the paragraph.
