    Sorry, you cannot do a find and replace using the GREP style. To achieve things like this, you have to use the Find/Change feature either Text or GREP.

    Eugene, your suggestions are always welcome. I too have learned a lot from your replies. You’re amazing. Your help is and will always be needed. It is just that I love GREP, and wants to explore more…

    Please don’t take it otherwise :)

    Yes there is:

    Find What: (\[bold\])(.+?)(\[bold\])
    Change to: $2
    Change Format: bold character style

    Then this will suit you best:

    Find What: (?<=(\[bold\])).+?(?=(\[bold\]))
    Change to: Change Format: bold character style

    Hope this works :)

    Clyde, what do you mean by [bold]. Is it a bold character or is it the word ‘bold’ within the square brackets.

    If it is the word ‘bold’ within square brackets then here is the code for you:

    Find What: (?<=(\[bold\])).+?(?=(\[bold\]))

    Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for trying this for me, but this is not the case. Nested Styles won’t work as the string I’m trying to style is a part of huge text, running into multiple pages. In that long-text, the location occurs several times, therefore, I’m trying to automate the styling. The only condition that matches with the location is that there are two hard returns and a heading ‘about the location’ running after it.

    To Text: ^.+(?=(\r\r(?i)about the location(?-i)))

    I have achieved this through a trick but that is leading me to an additional step.

    Any other ideas…

    You can upload it to your Dropbox and share the link here or can email me at masoodahmad@inbox.com

    By the way has the code for your “free package” (listed above) worked?

    Hi Paul, try this to apply style to the Free Package:

    Apply Style: Your Character Style
    To Text: (?i)free package(?-i)

    Regarding your second query, It seems I haven’t understood your query very well. I would suggest you to upload your InDesign file or atleast provide three-four paragraph of text to understand it better along with your query in detail. For example: what the text will look like and what you want to achieve.

    Waiting….. to help :)

    So, in the above example, where do you exactly wants to insert the line-break?

    Luis, based on the text you gave in the starting, I created a code and tested it in CS6. If it is not working for you, then please supply some more text, lets say three to four paragraphs.

    Hi Luis, try this using GREP Find/Change:

    Find What: (^[\u ]+\.?)([ ]+)
    Change to: $1\r$2

    Please let me know if it works…

    Hi Paul,

    I was not available for the last couple of days and I didn’t realized that there is another question hidden in this thread. If you would have started a new post with your newer question, then someone else might have answered it.

    However, here are the codes as per my understanding:
    1. How do you find a work to apply a style to? ie ‘Free package’ anywhere within a paragraph?

    Answer:
    Apply Style: YourStyle
    To Text: Free package

    2. Apply one style to ie. ‘The Crown Hotel’ \r this is any name at the start of a paragraph before the soft return, then followed by location ‘Dorset’?
    The paragraph would look like this….

    The Crown Hotel
    Dorset

    Answer:
    Apply Style: YourStyle
    To Text: (^.+\r)(?=Dorset)

    Hope these will help.

    Regarding your hyperlink question, I think that is not possible. Might be someone else could have a better idea…
