How to apply multiple GREP query at once.

Question

Hi

I'm working on a book and there are some repeating problems in the text that I managed to solve by applying a sequence of 4 GREPs which I saved to GREP query, the thing is I can't apply them to the whole text because they'll cause other problems, so I have to do it manually, I wonder if I can do them with one shortcut using a script instead of doing those 4 GREPs one by one for each problem.

Note: some of the GREPs uses change format to a certain style.

This script by Peter Kahrel might be easier to use:https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/grep_query_runner.html

Look at FindChangeByList.jsx script which is shipped along with InDesign. Using this you can store your queries in the corresponding txt file and then the script applies it one by one. You can also control as to which object do you want the queries to execute, its i think at document, selection and story level.
