I've recently purchased indexMatic3 Pro, Everything works perfectly except I'm trying to make an index from a series of codes from a text document for a catalog but some of the codes feature a Forward slash "/" (ie: 21008/MPTKT4RSS).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've read the manual it doesn't seem to be of assistance

Thanks

I think you should contact author directly?

Maybe you need to "escape" them - \/?

Please check Page 43 of the manual.

[...] Should an expression

contain a slash character (/), replace it by the escape sequence \/. [...]

You are welcome.

It's a JavaScript "thing" - in the UI you just enter "/" like most other characters and InDesign take care of the rest.

But because your phrases are used "directly" in the JavaScript - you need to "prepare" them by adding "\" before some special characters.
