How do I put in a missing space between punctuation and a capital letter?

Hi Irama,

Find What: (\p{punctuation})(\u)

Change To: $1\s$2

Look out that this doesn’t wreck web addresses. A way to avoid symbols like // in web addresses would be this approach in Find What: ([,.!?;:])(\u)

I have here a comprehensive list of GREP codes for you to consult:

Hi @irama57948095,

Thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can achieve this using GREP Find/Change in InDesign.

In the Find What field, please enter:
([[:punct:]])([A-Z])

In the Change To field, enter:
$1 $2

This GREP expression will identify cases where punctuation is immediately followed by a capital letter and automatically insert a space between them. You can also refer to this HelpX article for more details on using GREP queries in InDesign:

Before using Change All across the document, I'd recommend trying Find Next and Change first to verify that the results match the text patterns in your file.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Abhishek
