      Hey guys,
      just cannot figure it out… so help needed.

      I have this string (in product data):
      BL-s3

      And I’d need to set the letter “L” as subscript. I figured out, if I use GREP style to find the “L” between “B” and “-“, I could set it to use character style that is set to subscript.

      But cannot figure out what should be the GREP string. Any help?

      Hi Tero,
      you need to use a positive lookbehind before the “L” character and a positive lookahead after, the grep string looks like this:
      (?<=B)L(?=-)

      Here you are a screenshot of the result:

      Hope this helps
