    I have a following problem:

    I have this situation throughout a documen layout:
    dual language names of places divided by a /. For instance Munich/München.
    What I need to do is change is Munich/München into Munich (München).

    And there is another difficulty: sometimes the name of the place is two or three words: Rate?e/Valico di Fusine.

    Do you see a way to do this with GREP or is there no pattern?

    I’m not smart and knwoledgable in GREP to figure this one out.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Matjaz, you have to think like a computer to figure out grep. And computers are not very smart. :)
    There is no way one GREP could find all of these:
    Munich/München
    Rome/Roma
    Danemark/Denmark/Danska

    You can find all series of words that are separated by a slash. But it would also find “if/then”

    Yes, I figured that it is like this. But since my knowledge of GREP is not strong I asked If there is any way.
    Series of words separated by slash would be OK (slashes are only used for dividing names) but I think there would be a problem with double worded names.
