Help for my GREP Style

[jesperb66050901]

Hi

I need som help for my GREP style.

What is the GREP code if I want less space between A and 1 (see example picture). Do I make a character style with tracking and what code do I have to write?

If it is A and W with no space in between I use A(?=W) but in the example below there is a space in between.

Kind regards

Jesper

This should work:

Maybe
(?<=[\l\u])\s(?=\d)

is not as slick, but i dont know what exactly you want to exclude, so I made…

Look for \s (All Spaces)
while infront is (?<=…) has to be [\l\u] (any character)

and while after is (?=…) a digit \d

You could change the stuff what has to be infront/after

It only has to happen when "KORMA *space* 1000" occurs

Just to be save (but less flexible):

Hi DBLjan

I don't know it this one is too complex to do as a greph style in my paragraph style:

Do you know how to do this (see example screenshot)?. I need the . and the - to more close to the 2

Piece of cake 🙂

You just need a character-style with negative spacing. And a paragraph-style for your paragraphs containing the prices.

The GREP is

.(?=-)

which means

Look for the point, with postive lookahead (?= ) aka a following "-"

Be careful, we didnt exclude anything, so if you have a text like "Hello World.-Btw: This." .- will also be spaced negativly.

Also if your price-range is also 9.95 or 12.50 youll have to add more stuff.

Hi DBLjan!

Yes thanks 🙂

But my problem is that i need a Baseline Shift on the -

I have made it 8pt in this case (see screenshot)

[DBLjan]

Heres what you need to do:

Create a new character-style with just the base-line shift.

Now add a GREP to your paragraph-style (which can hold various GREPs) to…

Look for a "-", with a "." infront of it:

(?<=.)-

Any luck?
