    I need to find all occurrences of text in italics and add a unique character inside this text, e.g. as the second character. Is this possible?

    Hi
    You could do this with GREP. Try something like this:
    In the GREP tab of Find/Change, Search for:
    ([\u])([\u]+)
    And change to:
    $1(The character you want to add)$2

    And you have to Specify “italic” as an attribute to find

    It would have been much more understandable with a picture, but I didn’t know how to upload one.

    Hope this helps

    If @ is the char you want to insert after the 4th char …

    Find: (.{4})(.+)
    Replace by: $1@$2
    Find Format: + Italic

    Of course, that logically means if you want to insert @ at the beginning of each “italic” text, you need to find: (.{0})(.+)

    Super, Michel, it works nicely! Is there also a way to put the character as the last char in the found strings in stead of at a specific position?
