I would apply the data merging on just the .idms files name as:

@<<idms>>@

The .txt source file would be:

idms
xxx.idms

The data merging would give:

@xxx.idms@

Then a simple Script would import the .idms inside the InDesign doc.

… You could exclude some paras as Titles searching their style and applying a condition.

After that, always basically:

F: [^.\r]$ + no condition
R: $0.

(trash the condition after use.)

Thanks to give us more explanations about your problem!

app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteMarkerStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.item(“Superscript”).characterStyles.item(“superscript”);
app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteTextStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Footnotes”).paragraphStyles.item(“footnote (symbols)”);

The question is: ““Search for Style X where indent is not 11-pt.””

Regex 1:

Find: a para style “X” with the indent “11 pt”
Replace by: a “condition”, called “11 pt” to all the right paras found.

Regex 2:

Find: the para style “X” with “no condition” ==> that will find all the paras with bad indent.
Replace by: the indent “11 pt” + para style “X”

But why not place the cursor in a right para with the para style “X” and re-initialize it to override all the bad ones in the same time!? No really need Grep

… Or maybe I’ve not clearly understood the question! ;-)

Something like this!? …
