    What is an online dot? Better show a screenshot that shows what you have now and how you would like it to be.

    Online dot means period in online for example (.12) 12 will be in superscript. I want to interchange both superscript and period (12.) 12 will be remaining in superscript

    Note: How to attach screenshot?

    Aha, ok. So if a period on the baseline is followed by a superscripted number, the period and the number need to be swapped. If that’s what you want, then that’s not possible just like that because in InDesign you can’t search for two items with different formatting. So if you search for (\.)(\d+) you can’t specify that the dot should be normal and the number in superscript. You can use a three-step approach for this: expose the superscript as a text tag, do the change, and revert the superscript code. As follows:

    1. Find what: (\d+)
    Change to: %sup%$1
    Find format: position superscript
    Change format: position normal

    .12 is now changed to .%sup%12
    You can use any text tag you like.

    2. Find what: \.(%sup%\d+)
    Change to: $1.
    (Blank the Find format and Change format panels)

    3. Find what: %sup%(\d+)
    Change to: $1
    Find format: leave blank
    Change format: position superscript.
