    Thank you very much. This is the first time I've ever really worked with GREP. I was a Quark guy for a bazillion years and did most of my work on files inside of Word, then exported xtg files from there. This is all a whole new world for me. I must say, I'm sure there's a logic behind GREP, but I sure don't have my head around it yet.

    Thanks again!

    Okay, I figured it out. Altering it to this works:

    (?<=[,” |, |: ])d+

    The brackets did the trick. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks, all. This gets close. There's one more possibility that I didn't include in the sample:

    “Agenda,” 180–1

    So, I altered the grep above just a bit:

    (?<=,” |, |: )d+

    Unfortunately, that works on the Agenda sample, but it suddenly leaves out the first digit of any other number. Now I'm really confused. Not that I wasn't before. BTW, I'm testing these using the GREP styles section of the paragraph style, if that makes any difference.

    (Is there a reason the first item has a colon and all others have not?)

    Yes. I'm trying to account for all of the types of indexes I might see from this press, not just this one project.

    Thanks!
