I've exhausted my guessing and pecking at this. Can someone show me how to catch a range of AND's essentially to grab the second line of this linescore. I got the first line because it is static. Thank you so much

Voila!!!

The first GREP style: (\w+\tIP\tH\tR\tER\tBB\tSO\tERA)

The second GERP style: (\w+\tIP\tH\tR\tER\tBB\tSO\tERA)\K|([\w+,\t ]|[\d+\-\t]|[\d+.\t])

I happened upon regexr.com and I was off to the races.

This is the result when I apply that GREP style. The GREP style above calls a bold character style that holds an underline and a baseline shift of -2 pt. Then it is back to roman and a baseline shift of -3 pt trying to find the rest of the pitching lines.

IMO, you shouldn't bother with baseline shift in a such layout. Take time to fix your styles: return baseline shift back to normal, adjust leading and space before/after. I'd also use Paragraph rules instead underline.

EDIT: and don't use Char style for the whole paragraph, it's a no-no, too…

I hear ya. Because of the tab stops being different in width as well as number of stops, those have to be different styles. The GREP is amazing at chunking out extra manual work. And I'm this >| |< close. 🙂

Well, this one will find paras with one tab ^([^\t\r]+\t)[^\t]+$ this one with two ^([^\t\r]+\t){2}[^\t]+$ with three ^([^\t\r]+\t){3}[^\t]+$ with four ^([^\t\r]+\t){4}[^\t]+$ and so on (just change the number between curly brackets).

That’s possible in a number of ways, but you should provide more details, I think.
If you have exactly what we see: always a separate text story where we need to catch always the last paragraph, this one will work: [^\r]+\Z
If not, please elaborate.

Thanks, Winterm. You are right, I needed to give you just the line. It is the second line. And yout GREP is close. What's happening is I am not getting the -3 pt baseline shift in the Cstyle. Can you translate the grep you are showing?

"find everything till the end of text story, except hard break returns". Effectively it selects the last paragraph in a text story (which not always means 'text frame'). Baseline shift? I don't see it, and why you need it? What's your final goal here? Apply different para style? Some character level formatting? Or what?
