[Just for comment!] A guy asked me in 2018 for a similar matter but we played totally differently the game (a main flow with threaded text frames through pages [big text] and anchored boxes [small text] with possibility 1/2 lines depending of the small text length). Here what I seem to understand is that, if the op doesn't touch the text on green background [line x], how he could be sure that the line under on white background [line y] is exactly the translation of the line x, aligning the markers he show in his screenshot! … and apparently he will have to adjust each line y manually, on 2,000 pages! Good luck to him! (^/)

Just For Comment: Supposing someone only wants to colorize numbers between parenthesis! … [first, third, fifth, seventh, …] In this case, alas, Eugene's Grep code gives us an error on each text line! Personally, I've never thought trying to write an "magical" unique Grep code is the fastest and best way to play!! But write a simple Grep code we can duplicate is a way I often use, faster and simpler to play, with more control too! 😉 Here: Grep Style 1: \((\d+,\h){0}\K\d+(?=.*\)) Grep Style 2: \((\d+,\h){2}\K\d+(?=.*\)) Grep Style 3: \((\d+,\h){4}\K\d+(?=.*\)) Grep Style 4: \((\d+,\h){6}\K\d+(?=.*\)) Grep Style 5: \((\d+,\h){8}\K\d+(?=.*\)) … The numbers in pink gives us the number place between parenthesis. To get the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth number, just change: 0 => 1, 2 => 3, 4 => 5, 6 => 7, 8 => 9. (^/) The Jedi

That will play ALL THE TABLES AND ONLY THEM: var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+[,.\\d]+\\d+";
var myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
var F = myFound.length, f;
var temp;
for ( f = F-1; f >= 0; f-- ) {
if ( myFound[f].parent.constructor.name === "Cell" ) {
temp = myFound[f].contents.replace(/,/g, '#');
temp = temp.replace(/\./g, ',');
myFound[f].contents = temp.replace(/#/g, '.');
}
}
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

Of course, after some relevant work as correctly parameter the main TOC and its babies, you will just need 1 click to get such the result shown in the pdf. If update of the TOCs, alas you will need to run the Script again!! (^/)

… If you prefer Scripting [that will clearly play the Regex defined in my previous post]! 2 versions: • SCRIPT 1: Only 1 TOC --> no need to place the cursor in the TOC or select something … • SCRIPT 2: Only 1 TOC --> place the cursor inside the TOC, or Several TOCs --> place the cursor inside the right TOC. /*

I've found an old Script written for a client 7 years ago [mai 2018]. I've added a "B" version to make it more fun! … Simple Process: • The op opens a book with docs using a basic page numbering on parent pages [I mean e.g. just "A"]. • [s]he runs the first Script [_FRIdNGE-0798A]. It mainly creates the "Total Pages Number" text variable in all the docs and accessorily updates the book page numbering. • [s]he opens any document, jumps to any parent page with a page numbering text frame and types the right header text (here: "page A on ") and finishes by inserting the "Total Pages Number" text variable. WARNING: the op needs now to select the header text and copy it in the clipboard. • [s]he runs the second Script [_FRIdNGE-0798A]. It mainly updates the header text on all the parent pages and accessorily updates the book page numbering. Now, if the Layout moves by pages addings/removings, or, e.g., if new documents are added (or removed) at the end of the book, the op will still just need to update the pages numbering by running the first Script [_FRIdNGE-0798A] again. So just "1 click"! 😉 (^/) [paid Scripts]

Smple way to play the game: Create a personalized Text Variable you can call "Total Pages Number" and give to it the total pages current number of the book, e.g. "142". If, in the future, this number changes, just modify this number in the main document (doc_1.indd here). Insert this Text Variable on the parent Pages of all the Book documents, with the Page Number, as, e.g. "Page A of 142". To finish, make sure the "Text Variables" are checked in the Book Synchronization Settings … Select All the Documents and Synchronize them! That's all! I've added 14 pages in the book! It took me 23 seconds to change the number of the Text Variable in the doc_1.indd, select all the documents in the Book Palette and synchronize. (^/) The Jedi

As you can see in the Grep F/R [french] window, I use the Grep Code provided by the op [I've just added a "?" to make the Found more precise, but the op's code remains correct]. My Script is based on this Grep F/R with finally 4 Found! (^/)

You could use an invisible auto-num for your Endnotes and catch its numbering in the Text Variable with something like this: <paraNum /> If you add or remove Endnotes later, you will just need to update the Cross-Refs. 1 click! 😉 (^/) The Jedi
