Grep Style Issue

[Joe Bodego]

I created a grep style for some prices "$15.000" no problem i use this (\$\d+) however when i change the prise to "#1.5000" the grep does not work, it wont go pass the (.) Can you help?

[tpk1982]

Now you are using #, so you need to search like

(\#\d+)

also if you want to search including zero, use

(\#\d+[.]\d+)

[Joe Bodego]

dont get it, this is the code i am using, (\$\d+) can you write it out for me

[tpk1982]

When prices have $ then you can use (\$\d+)

If price have #, so you need use (\#\d+)

if you need find all with $ prices..use

(\$\d+[.]\d+)

HTH

[Joe Bodego]

Got it, now what if your price has a mixture of commas and periods. example $1,500 and $1.500 and $1500. Thanks this is helping

[tpk1982]

Simple..

for $1,500           (\$\d+[,]\d+)

for $1.500          (\$\d+[.]\d+)

for $1500          (\$\d+)

[Joe Bodego]

Awesome, i kinda figured it out, 2 more things is there a way to combine them so i don;t have to do 3 grep styles? if now i can live with this, you;re awesome man. After this i have one more but i would wait for you to answer this

[tpk1982]

Hmm.. you can use OR condition  like

(\$\d+[.|,]\d+)

to check both for $1,500 and $1.500

[Joe Bodego]

Great, now its making sense to me, now for my other issue, i have the word (surprise) no problem there, however i want to have the same style if i capitalize the "S" , i swear this is my last issue and thanks in advance

[tpk1982]

What yo need to do with the s and S?

The case sensitive option is available in Text search.. not in Grep search

[Joe Bodego]

Just incase it starts in a paragraph.

[tpk1982]

Using  ^ grep will go the beginning of paragraph

^(s|S)

[Joe Bodego]

having an issue with this, bear in mind this is my very first day using grep. not working maybe my coding is wrong "\surprise\^(s|S)"

[tpk1982]

If you want to find the first character of paragraph start with s or S then use

^(s|S)

not like \surprise\^(s|S)

[Joe Bodego]

I get that but i want the word "surprise" to be affected if its a lowercase "s" or uppercase "S"

[tpk1982]

^(s|S)urprise

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

… Or:

^((?i)s)urprise

(^/)

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

Karthi,

(?i)s

is equal to:

[sS]  or  (s|S)

(^/)

[tpk1982]

Thanks Obi.. It's my oversight

[Joe Bodego]

Thank you all, i learned a lot here

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

Karthi,

[.|,] is wrong!

It takes 3 chars: a dot, a comma OR a "|"

[.,] is the right writing.
