Hi all,

I need a script which insert a tab before UPPERCASE text in "[Paper]" color. Would it be possible?

Thanks in advance,
Rogerio

    I don't know if a script is doable, but why don't you simply run a Find-Change?

    Edit: too slow…

    You don't need a script. In the Grep tab of the Find/Change window:

     

    Find what: (?=\u\u+)

    Find format: [Paper] colour

    Change to: \t

      Hi Peter, thanks for that! It worked just as expected. 🙂

      I just noticed that some uppercase text contain a anchored object right before it in the documents I'm currently working on. Therefore, the provided GREP is not finding them 😞
      Do you know any GREP which add a tab in the midle of an object and uppercase text?

      Thanks again for your help!

      Regards,
      Rog

      Try this:

       

      (?=~a?\u\u+)
