What is this GREP expression?

[Cara Showers]

This GREP expression is loaded in my InDesign file already. I don't know where it came from. Who put it there. But more importantly, what does it do??

\s(?=[–—"'\w[:punct:]]+$)

… associated to a "nobreak" char style to try to avoid a widow at the end of a para containing such a Grep style, nothing really interesting!

More relevant (and simpler):

\H+\h\H+$

Thank you!

Would this also accomplish the same thing?

.{15}$

This is one I use intentionally. I just never knew what that other one was or where it came from.

[FRIdNGE]

Not exactly!

Sample (in french):

\H+\h\H+$ will give: "… faire une proposition indécente.", so maybe:

"… faire une 

proposition indécente."

.{15}$ will give: "… faire une proposition indécente.", so maybe:

"… faire une propo-

sition indécente."
