Can you provide more information? What did it not catch?

As I said, GREP has to find a very precise pattern. So, for example there is no way for GREP to find both of these: “In Chapter 1 — Tools you will learn about the tools but in Chapter 2 — Use and Practice you will learn about other stuff.”

It can’t do it because there is one word in the title in the first chapter title and three words in the next. How could InDesign/GREP possibly know what is a chapter title and what isn’t in these cases?
