      GREPs are usually created to find a specific pattern in text, hence the coding. I think it would be rare to find a specific GREP that works for one person and another person in a given scenario.

      If you need help in understanding how to GREP or have anything you'd like help with post it here and we'll try to help. (Some things cannot be GREP'd)

      If you want a good starting point check out the book on GREP by Peter Kahrel https://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517069

      That's a very good book with lots of examples.

      Examples are good, but hands on approach is even better. I am using G. Skinner's tool here:

      https://www.gskinner.com/RegExr/

      to check my attempts. Without this i would not be able to solve many problems, since my skills in GREP syntax are very limited.This tool is a heavenly gift…..
