ParticipantHappy to help :)
Guz, I suggest trying this through GREP Styles. This will reduce your extra effort of finding and replacing every time the text changes.
Just give it a try. I have tested it and it works well too.
ParticipantThat option in the Paragraph Styles is for the Tab Stops. It means you can assign your tabs to stop at a particular location. For example you want a tabular layout for your accounting data each tab at a specific distance:
1st tab at 2 inches
2nd tab at 3 inches
3rd tab at 5 inches
4th tab at 5.5 inches
and so on…In this way you can create a style for your tabs’ stops. So when you apply your paragraph style and insert a manual tab in your text frame, the tab will automatically move to your prescribed location.

To know more about Tabs, I suggest watching some tutorials on Lynda.com, like this one:
https://www.lynda.com/Illustrator-tutorials/Working-tabs/161817/177378-4.htmlParticipantI couldn’t understand Kather, what this post is about. Is this something related to Adobe and InDesign or are you looking for something else. Please elaborate.
ParticipantTry these, both options are available i.e. through GREP Find/Change and through GREP Styles.
GREP Styles:
Apply Style:Superscript Character Style
To Text:\[\d+[,\d]*\]GREP Find Change:
Find what:\[\d+[,\d]*\]
Change to Format:Superscript Character StyleParticipantNo, you cannot add a Tab character through styles, though you can add tab stops. Inserting a Tab character can only be achieved through Find/Change.
ParticipantIt should work, in case if it is not working for you. I would suggest to send me your InDesign file or the actual text to verify.

ParticipantTry this using the GREP Find/Change:
Find what:
\r(?=\D)
Change to:Note: the Change to field have a normal space.
ParticipantWhy chose to be a programmer then? Choose to be a billionaire by birth and you don’t even have to struggle for bits. There will be people to struggle for you, hopefully :)

ParticipantGlad, it worked.
For your second query, try this:

ParticipantThanks Oleh, I’ll check these out.
ParticipantHi Jongware,
Thanks for you suggestions. I am also a person of hit and trials and till now what I have learned is through by doing it and/or with the help of video tutorials. Similarly I thought that initially I can learn JavaScripting with the help of good Video tutorials and believe it or not in my opinion, you would be the right person to write tutorials on the subject. Therefore, I request you to think in this regard and contact Lynda about it.
Meanwhile I’m trying to grab some knowledge from Bucky Robert’s tutorials, they are good so far.
ParticipantYeah David, I have read this article, But I’m looking especially for the Video Tutorials.
Currently, I’m learning from the tutorials by Bucky Roberts:
and then I’ll watch:
But these are web related. I would like to create small programs using JavaScript and for that I need a detailed tutorial.
Hope, Jongware can do something in this regard…
