Reply To: Can you all help with a GREP de-bug

It seems all it needs is this:

— it finds every string of digits that are preceded by either comma-space or colon-space. There is no need to check for notes (digits, but preceded by an 'n') or en-dashes (the same, it has an en-dash). It also skips the war date range, for the same reason.

(Is there a reason the first item has a colon and all others have not?)

… forward slashes …

You mean backslashes :) This editor probably treats a single backslash as some kind of special code and discards it. To insert a single backslash like this enter two of them when posting: \ — you have to watch out when editing a post, because at that point it will contain single backslashes again and you have to change them back to \ one at a time.
