Reply To: Help me with GREP

A different thought: if each of these lines is set up in a similar way (with tabs separating each section), then you should consider one of two different options, which don’t involve GREP:

• You could just select the paragraphs and convert them into a table. The rule is: If you’re making something that looks kind of like a table, and smells like a table, then it probably should be a table! :-)
• You could use nested styles… just make character styles, and then apply them using nested styles rules to each section using the “up to” tab rule. Here’s a silly example of nested styles, but it gives the basic idea: https://creativepro.com/holiday-text-fx-part-3-fun-with-nested-styles.php
