GREP Style, for limited amount of words and symbols before a colon
Hello,
Anytime I have a colon at the start of a paragraph, I would like the words and symbols up to and including the colon bold and underlined. I have been using this which I found in another forum:
^(((?!:)\w)+.?+\s?){1,3}?:
An Example: Looks like this every time up to 3 words. Exactly what I need.
But This (BT): Does not change to my bold/underline style, even if I increase the range from {1,3} to {1,10}
+1 Not Working: It also fails to work with other symbols.
Something like this might work: ^.*?(?=:)
However, I have a few instances of a colon at the end of a long sentence, and don't want the bold/underline style applied then. I'm relatively new to GREP and while I'm starting to grasp it, some things still escape me entirely. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
