Reply To: Changing a text character to a symbol or solid box help

What do you mean by making the textbox “into a solid”? Are you trying to simulate checked and unchecked check boxes? I don’t think you can alter the fill color of the box using grep alone, but you could probably simulate the same visual appearance using two different symbol characters using a grep find and replace. Assuming the targeted textframes each contain only a single character, either 1 or 0:

\A1\Z would match a solitary 1 in a textframe

\Z0\Z would match a solitary 0 in a textframe

Replace the 1 and 0 with appropriate symbol characters. Would that work for your situation?
