Just for interest, the difference between a GREP style as described by Jongware and a nested style is the behaviour when the character you've assigned to end the style isn't present in the paragraph. With a nested style, the entire paragraph will appear with the chosen character style, because it styles everything until it reaches the end character – and if it doesn't reach it, it continues styling right up to the end of the paragraph. With a GREP style, nothing in the paragraph will be put into the character style, because the search pattern doesn't match anything. So whether you choose a GREP or a nested style depends on which of these two behaviours you want.
