InDesign GREP Question: Adding Characters Before All Instances of a Word

Community Beginner ,

I want to add the letter "k" before every instance of my heading 4 style.

I've gone into find/replace and GREP, specified all instances of that character style, and tried to come up with something.

I got as far as something like "(.+?)" or maybe "\w" to search for any word.

Not really sure how to do the replace. Maybe like... "k\w"  or "k$" but they aren't working.

Any ideas?

Find what: ^

Change to: k

Find format: The H4 style

 

^ matches the first insertion point of all headings 4 and inserts k.
