GREP Search and Replace

Explorer ,
Dec 12, 2019 Dec 12, 2019

I'm trying to search a long list of tabbed text and apply a Paragraph style to it. I've tried both GREP and a regular search and replace. I've tried \d\d\d\d^t and ^9^9^9^9^t and adding in the font and size. The text in the first two columns is a different font and the first column is a different size.

 

Both find a few instances and skip over pretty much all the rest. The attached image it finds the 2019 but not the 2018 and doesn't find another instance until the 7th page.

 

I've used Nested styles to apply the style in the first two columns and another Nested style as a Variable for a running header on the Master Pages.

 

Not sure if the Nested styles are causing the search to not find every instance. 

 

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

I figured this out, I had to search for the Character style I set up to use with the Nested Style. I was searching for the Paragraph style.
