GREP Style to remove a character symbol

Hi,

This can be accomplished by setting up a Character style that reduces the point size of the text to 0.1 and changes the color to the same color of the background.

The character style setup I used is below:

Then I applied this to my paragraph style as a GREP style to remove all brackets when close together with a space after them in text. E.g. "Text text text () text text text (text)"

It would remove the "() " and leave the text as below:

"Text text text text text text (text)"

The grep setup was as follows:

And the example in the actual text with no style attached:

With the style attached:

Below is the GREP i used for your example using the same Character style detailed above:

The reason for the extra \ is to remove the space after this character if one exists.

So a GREP to remove both "~ " with a space and to remove "~" without a space after would be:

Hope this helps.

Thanks

A GREP style can be used to assign formatting to a pattern, but not to remove anything.

Do you need to simply remove every ~ from the document? You can do that with a Text find/change. (Leave Change to blank.)

Or is there a pattern involved to isolate just specific ~'s? In that case, a GREP find/change might be the answer. We'll need more information about how/where the ~'s appear to help you with that.
