Apply a grep style to bold the last word after the colon

[lister110]

Example:

Filename and path: Macintosh HD:Users:rob.freeman:Desktop:Filename

--------

Hi, I would like to apply a bold style to the last word of the string above. 'Filename' with a grep style. I have found a grep style here:

^[^:]+:

But this adds the bold at the beginning. How do I get this to be like this:

Filename and path: Macintosh HD:Users:rob.freeman:Desktop:Filename

lister

[vladan saveljic]

try this grep

:\KFilename$

Hi!

(\H+):\K(?1)\b

(^/) 

[winterm]

And another a bit different approach that seems working too:

:\K[^:]+?$

winterm,

Yeap if you target simple paras!

Nope if this sentence is included into a para as:

"xxxx xxxx (filename and path: Macintosh HD:Users:rob.freeman:Desktop:Filename.psd) xxxx xxxx."

(^/) 

[lister110]

Sorry, it needs to target the last word of this style , basically after the last colon.

[winterm]

Whatever, Obi-wan. Seems like OP has a somewhat different problem since neither code works for him.

The only problem is the text is dynamic. So it shouldn't look for a particular word.

[vladan saveljic]

well, I didn't understand good your question

I thought the word is always the filename

is always better to make a precise question for a precise answer

Hi Vladan, sorry to confuse you.

Hi Obi, this doesn't seem to work:

(\H+):\K(?1)\b

and the code here

:\K[^:]+?$

adds the bold style to everything after the first ':'

Filename and path: Macintosh HD:Users:rob.freeman:Desktop:Filename

thanks so far

[vladan saveljic]

:\K\w+$

[lister110]

Thanks Vladan for swift response, but this does seem to work:

Vladan,

Try:  aaabbb_ccc.txt

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

Maybe our friend has copied the \r at the end of our code!

It won't be the first time!

[vladan saveljic]

in your character style did you choose bold?

Obi: well, we expect a more detailed question of lister110 in that sense

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

?? 

… Or:

(^/)

[lister110]

mmm, can't seem to get this to work in a paragraph style:

[lister110]

I think the problem is I am using a variable as the path and file name.

Vladan you grep works but not on the dynamic part of the text. Can grep work on variable text?

thanks everyone for your input.. really appreciate it.

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

A variable!  LOL!

[lister110]

Thanks again. Maybe its harder to target a variable? Sorry for all the confusion..

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

In this video, I've manipulated the variables by script!

InDesign: TOC, Caption & Variable! … - YouTube

In your case, it's easy [and I'll use my grep code] to manipulate them to have the result you want without loosing the dynamic link!

The bad news: I don't write script for free!

No problem. Appreciate the help.
