    I have a line of copy that includes several commas. I’d like to find the second comma in each line and replace it with a paragraph return.

    I feel like this is possible with GREP, I’m just not sure how to write it.

    Thanks for you time,
    Holly

    Hi Holly,

    try this one:

    Find what: ^(.+?\K,\x20){2}
    Change to: \r

    Thank you Kai! The solution you offered did not work. Then I discovered I needed to focus on a different element than the second comma. It was a set of upper case letters with a space after…long story.

    Anyway, I’ve accomplished what I needed a different way. Thankfully there weren’t many lines.

    I do appreciate your reply though!

    Holly, I’m pretty sure, that my code should work in a perfekt world. Even if you have a solution, would you please provide two lines of a real example. Thanks
