GREP to add space in 6 digit numbers

[Spenno]

Hi all. As the title suggests, I have a long list of product SKUs in a document and the powers that be would like the 6 digit SKU to have a space in the middle ie be two groups of 3 digits. Any chance of help with a GREP that I can use with this paragrapgh style to automate this? Thanks for any input.

Replying from my phone but I think it would be something like this:

(\d\d\d)(\d\d\d)

$1(space you want)$2

Hi @Spenno:

We use GREP in two locations in InDesign: as a Find/Change activity and a GREP style.

We use GREP styles in a paragraph style to apply formatting and Find/Change to edit the content. In your case, if you want to add a space between six characters you can use Robert's suggestion as a Find/Change GREP query and not in a paragraph style.

I just answer to Spenno's question: use a Grep style in your para style:
