Hi,
Not quite sure how to achieve this. I'm searching for a reference or references, they all begin Ref: followed by two digits. This is followed by various characters, and I need to extend the selection to include these.
I assume I need to use "With Selection", and what I want to do is to extend the selection until there is a punctuation mark, or a space. I started by just adding 7 to the .end of a range, but that excluded some and sometimes included bits I didn't want.


I've not included any of my code as I'm not entirely sure where to start with this,
Thanks,
David.

Assuming the 'various characters' don't include spaces, etc., with a wildcard Find:
<Ref:[0-9]{2}*>

Far more effective! Probably breaking a rule here, but how would I paste these references into a new blank document. Not worried about saving,
Many thanks,

David.
