    I use find change by list script to edit digits in indesign cs6 , but can’t.

    I put this in the .txt :
    grep {findWhat:”(\d)”} {appliedParagraphStyle:”$1:”} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}

    seems the indesign doesnt support the “\” from the .txt, coz i can see it put (d) in the find/change app. in indesign.

    should i use another kind of unicode ?

    Not certain but I think the parentheses are not necessary.

    ”\d”

    grep***{findWhat:”\d”}

    thanks for replying

    but how to use $1 to keep the digit that i want without the ( ) ?
    and I found it when the script copy the \d to indesign find change app. the \d turns to (d)

    or I should use another metacharacters to edit the digit ?

    Please have a look at these:

    Macro/Script for multiple text find-change queries?

    There’s a utility/script that help you to record your find and change queries to a text file, called: RecordFindChange_CS3.jsx
