i can already do a positive look behind (?<=\[).+ to replace the characters i just didn’t know if there was a grep code that would remove or replace the brackets so they didn’t remain.

No the grep i used works fine bolds all titles – it works for what i was needing it for.

I was wondering how to get it to do the same thing but not apply it to the comma inbetween the second title.

im copying and pasting…Yours worked fine. Not sure why it didn’t work with his.

I thought i read that link. So in this case i would change it to be

(?<=\(){1,2,3}(?=\))

EDIT: That doesnt work, (?<=\().(?=\)) that finds exactly 1 or (?<=\()..(?=\)) finds exactly 2 but .,.. Doesnt find anything

Well thats an intersesting article.

Im not working on a book. It is a specialized thing i was working on. When you copy and paste text from a PDF it autmatically keeps the formatting. So paragraph breaks are imported even if the sentance is continuing – Usually i run it through textcleaner.net but i was wondering if i could implement it as a grep inside the paragraph style.

I put it on it own layer and put it below the layer the text is on, and it worked perfectly.
