USING INCOPY CS4 115 Text A B C GREP example A. Finds all word characters enclosed in quotation marks B. The character style is applied to the second grouping (the word) while the first two groupings (open and close quotes) are removed C. Character style specified This example searches only for single words enclosed in quotation marks. If you want to search for phrases enclosed in parentheses, add wildcard expressions, such as (\s*.*\w*\d*), which looks for spaces, characters, word characters, and digits. Example 2: Phone numbers InDesign includes a number of search presets that you can choose from the Queries menu. For example, you can choose the Phone Number Conversion query, which looks like this: \(?(\d\d\d)\)?[-. ]?(\d\d\d)[-. ]?(\d\d\d\d) Phone numbers in the United States can appear in a variety of formats, such as 206-555-3982, (206) 555-3982, 206.555.3982, and 206 555 3982. This string looks for any of these variations. The first three digits (\d\d\d) of the phone number may or may not be enclosed in parentheses, so a question mark appears after the parentheses: \(? and \)?. Note that the backslash \ indicates that the actual parenthesis is being searched for and that it's not part of a subexpression. The brackets [ ] locate any character within them, so in this case, [-. ] finds either a hyphen, a period, or a space. The question mark after the brackets indicate that the items within it are optional in the search. Finally, the digits are enclosed in parentheses, which signify groupings that can be referred to in the Change To field. You can edit the grouping references in the Change To field to suit your needs. For example, you could use these expressions: 206.555.3982 = $1.$2.$3 206-555-3982 = $1-$2-$3 (206) 555-3982 = ($1) $2-$3 206 555 3982 = $1 $2 $3 Additional GREP examples Experiment with these examples to learn more about GREP searches.
