Search any character except space using GREP

[amanm5143]

Hi,

I am working on a document which consists of many footnotes, wherein, a footnote reference might be at the start of a word:

 

I am trying to use GREP to find any footnote reference marker preceded as well as followed by any character (letter, punctuation, period or any other character) except for space.

I shall be grateful if anyone could help me with its GREP guery.

Thanks & Regards,

Aman

Hi Manan,

Thank you for taking out the time, and replying to the post. Much appreciated.

Grep suggested by you takes helps in finding all footnotes reference markers preceded by any character except space. Suggested GREP is capturing all footnotes preceded by any character except space, and followed by space:

It definitely helps in finding references without space at the beginning. I usually work with documents having 500+ footnotes. Is it possible to further extend the GREP such that it is able to find all footnotes markers preceded as well as followed by any character except space?

Thank you so much for the help!

Regards,

Aman
