    [Jongware] Community Member

      Please do stop reading if the mere mentioning of that dreaded acronym "GREP" makes you roll your eyes and mutter "oh no -- not that"!

       

      Still reading? Interested in GREP? Wondering why this expression

       

      (<=\()Figures?\s\d+\s?.*\s?\d*(?=\))

       

      doesn't seem to find all occurrences it should? Fret No More. Or, Fret A Bit Less, perhaps, after downloading WhatTheGREP

      This handy script lists your GREP expression in excruciating details, and it might even highlight the odd error as well. Make sure to read the full story on www.jongware.com/idgrephelp.html

       

      Be warned: this script creates and writes into a new document, but, as always, be paranoid and save your work before running. You never know (and don't say I didn't warn you).
