      I’m working on a huge publication in which the client wants all “affiliations” to be in italics.

      It looks like this: V.I. Person, University of Hooterville; M. KnowItAll, InDesign Secrets; S. Little, Genius Lab, SmallTown; etc.

      I’m trying to figure out if I can search for everything that falls between a comma and a semicolon in order to apply a InD character style to it. As you can see there will be a few cases where there’s an additional comma in the person’s affiliation. For example, C. Kiefer, Univeristy of California, Santa Barbara; …

      In 2019, I used this: (?<=,).*?(?=;) Thanks to a member here @jeremy-howard-2.

      For some reason, it’s not working this year. I’m working in InDesign 23 (18.0) using the Find/Change dialog box, GREP tab —> Custom, then pasting in the GREP string and using the Format box to try to apply the style ITALICS.

      Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks.
