Question

Applying Indent after all $ signs

Hello, 

 

I am trying to design financials, in the process I am using tables for my numbers. For dollar denominations, I am trying to have a left aligned $ sign, with right aligned numbers. The current import has the dollar sign flush with the numbers. I have a long winded solution of inserting an "indent to here" after the dollar sign, I would like to apply this to a paragraph style if anyone can help. 

thanks!

Do a search to add a space between the dollar sign and the numbers, and set the alignment in your cells to full justify.

    A Like for you for out-of-the-box thinking :D, but if you're adding a space then you can add a Right Indent Tab there instead.

    Using GREP, find "^\x{24}(?=\d)" and change to "\x{24}~y" – the "\x{24}" stands in for the "$" sign (even though escaping "\$" ought to work, it seems more flaky than other codes) and the "~y" is Right Indent.
