indesign grep code for adding point s in thousands and tenthousands
hi everybody,
i'm not very familiar with grep (hope to be one day), but i think what i'm looking for shouldn't be that hard to write.
in an indesign document with thousands of prices, a point should be added if the prices are thousands or ten thousands. so f.i. 23567, 89 should be 23.567,89 and 1273,25 shoud be 1.273,25, but 899,56 should not be .899,56.
i did create for 'Find' : \d{3}(?=\,) and for 'Replace' : .$0 which finds the three numbers before the comma and adds the point, but does so with 3-digit numbers as well (.899,56), but of course they should remain unaffected.
can anyone help me out ?
