Hi all. I am not super familiar with GREPs in InDesign. 

 

I need to create a list like this...

(a) 

(b)

(c)

 

I have managed to update it to have one bracket after the number but not sure how to get the bracket before the letter. Any help would be appreciated!

Correct answer Robert at ID-Tasker

"^#" represents one character - same way as "^t" - and it means "current level".

 

For lower levels - you can use higher level - "^1" will insert value of the 1st level. You can insert them using the small triangle on the right of the "Number" field.

Thank you so much, I was adding ti before the hashtag and it wasn't working, but now I see why!
