automatic brackets

[Michel Raj]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to automatically put these [brackets] around titles.
I believe it's only possible by a search/replace (grep or not), but I would have liked a style or ?

Any idea ?

TIA
Michel

As variant:

Select title and run this script:

app.activeDocument.selection[0].contents = "[" + app.activeDocument.selection[0].contents + "]";

(+ keyboard shortcut for this script)

You could also set the para style using [ as a bullet and then s/r all paragraph returns in that style with ]\r (can't remember if \r is return or ^p).

Thanks,

I thought of doing a simple search in the document
with
(.+) on the style
and replace with
[$1]

And keep the script of Boris for when I need to add brackets punctually.

But I would have dreamed of a kind of style with includes in front (like a bullet) and also in end of the title...

Regards
Michel

Find Grep: 

F?.+E?$ + para style 

Replace: 

[$0]

F is Front Symbol

E is End Symbol

Repeat

? is Zero or One time (0,1)

+ is Times More or One (1, 1+)
