Grep String Help

[rboehl]

So I'm trying to create GREP styling to help making a project faster.  I'm trying to have everything between a period and a comma character styled, or between a period and the word 'by or at'

This is what I have so far:

(?<=\.).+?(((\s)(?i)by(\s))|((\s)(?i)at(\s))|(?=,))

My issue is that a date sometimes appears, Dec. 2, and because it's between the period and comma it gets the character style. How can I eliminate that, or tell it to ignore digits or make it only do it to one or more words?

Help!

Quick shot:

instead of .+? try \D+?

that means "everything except digits".

Ah that worked!! I did

(?<=\.)(\D+?)(((\s)(?i)by(\s))|((\s)(?i)at(\s))|(?=,))

Man, I was searching everywhere. Thanks so much!!
