Complicated Find and Replace

[Vraja Devi Dasi]

     Hey there guys,

I want to find a text and replace its style, which is simple, but I want to add tab space (>>) in the end, in addition to the replacement of style,

Is that possible?

[Peter Kahrel · Accepted solution]

In the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog:

Find what: (.)$

Find format: a paragraph style

Change to: $1\t (>>)

Change format: the other paragraph style

This is assuming that by 'style' you mean 'paragraph style'.

Thanks a lot Peter Kahrel,

The problem is it doesn't work...

But it worked when I did:

find: ^p

change to: ^t

[Peter Kahrel]

If ^p works then you're doing it in the Text tab. You should use the Grep tab.

As Uwe mentioned elsewhere, stay away from the paragraph mark (^p).

And you replace ^p with ^t, in other words, you combine two paragraphs.

oh, now I saw you wrote in the GREP tab, that's why it didn't work....
