I have an index in which I'd like to Find/Change all the entries with a character style, but stop the GREP expression before the tab, leader, page numb. They vary though. Here are 3 indexed examples:
A16T-PVUNL-3
A-100-90-3CT-300
B-20-22-50-3/4 shank
Is there any way to constrict this to just the characters and digits, then stopping before the tab? I achieved it in another index whose entries are 7-digits only with this expression: ^(\d+)
The return constricted it so that search did not find the page numbers after the tabs.
Thanks.
Thanks for replying. Sorry to be unclear. I do want to style everything up to the tab. My thinking is that I'd have to highlight every entry to that point and apply the character style. Only problem: I have well over 1000 entries that could change several times before I pub. this and I'm looking for a more automated approach. I am trying to apply a char. style in order for my text variable field to pick up that portion of the tab entry.
Thanks!
