Reply To: GREP replace footnote>punctuation with punct>footnote

Hello,

With GREP, it is impossible, because footnote marker can't be entered in the Change To box. You can do it with a script.

I use this one :

app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

var pattern = “[,;.]+~F”;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = pattern;
var finds = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
for (var i = finds.length-1 ; i>=0 ; i–)
{
finds[i].characters.item(-1).move(
LocationOptions.before,
finds[i].characters.item(0)
);
}
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
