Indesign Grep for searching quotes marks (beginning of line)

But @anne36546105b7ow wants just the quotation marks at the beginning of a line (by which I guess she means 'paragraph'). So ^« will do (assuming that closing q marks never occur at the beginning of a paragraph).

Hi @anne36546105b7ow, this will find the quote at the start of line, including the quote marks:

^«[^»]+»

From left to right:

^  =  at the start of paragraph (as @Robert at ID-Tasker mentioned)

«  =  a normal left quote

[^»]  =  find any character except right-quote

+  =  find one or more of these

»  =  normal right quote

This will find the quoted text, without the quote marks:

^«\K[^»]+

\K  =  throw out whatever we matched up until here. In other words, we match the quote mark but don't keep it.

- Mark

Line or Paragraph?

For Paragraph - or after SHIFT+ENTER - you could use "^".
