      Hi everyone,

      I created a custom text variable which contains number and words in it. eg.: text1234

      I want to use a green character style which apply only on numbers within variable.

      i used grep ( (?<=\l)\d+ )for this but did not works in this case. but it works with only text character.

      could anyone please help me ?? how to do this

      Do you mean a real text variable? If so, you can just use the code ~v which finds any text variable.

      Great! I found it useful. But what if I want to select a small portion of it. not the whole variable…

      e.g. Thanksyou --- is a variable

      In this scenario, I want to select you<you> and apply a character style on it. Is it possible, or any other way to capture that character.

      and thanks for your quick reply
