Subscript number proceeded by an "X"
If have many instances of X followed by a number, but I only want to subscript the number if it's proceeded by a single X.
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 12 23 12 45 A wildcard Find/Replace: Find = [0-9]{1,} Replace = ^& This subscripts everything, but not sure how to isolate the number. |

Don't bother trying to isolate the number. Just subscript the lot and then do a second search and replace to make any subscript X into normal size.

Thanks Andrew, but I don't want a number that is all by itself to be subscript.
So, in post #1, those last four numbers should not be subscript. |

As Andrew said:

A wildcard Find/Replace: Find = X[0-9]{1,} Replace = ^& subscripting the replacement followed by: Find = X with the subscript attribute Replace = ^& removing the subscript.

Ok thanks. I got it now. I had tried that, X[0-9]{1,}, but it wasn't working.
Wasn't working (my fault) because the number after the X is actually a SEQ field. I will now have to switch the strategy to subscripting the SEQ field code when it is displayed. All sorted. Thank you Andrew and Paul. |
