    Thank you, David:

    I just got it to work on some unformatted text. I think the problem might be that there are a lot of paragraph and character styles in this document that maybe were competing somehow or limiting the scope. I read the 10 Tips for Find/Change, and the Paragraph Styles seemed like the most likely culprit. Thanks for confirming that it works. I’ll try to keep the text as free of styles as possible until I’ve made the change between the , and ;. Thanks again for you help.

    Hi Jeremy:
    It’s me again. I’m trying to use this GREP string “(?<=,).*?(?=;)” this year on same large project—2023 edition.

    For some reason it’s not finding anything when I search.

    I’m using InDesign 2023 (18.0); still trying to apply a character style of ITALICS to anything that falls between a comma and a semi-colon. I’m using InDesign’s Find/Change, GREP tab and the formatting box at the bottom of the dialog.

    Any ideas why this isn’t working this year. It’s worked wonderfully for the past two years. Maybe I’m forgetting how to use it?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. so much.
