I would like to import text (google docs) using DocsFlow. I have text coming in as two versions in the same document, marked in google docs as [E1:this][E4:that].
I want to use grep in the paragraph style to apply a character style that I made E1 or E4, so far so good. I have done that.
The question is I want to suppress the code part, for example, “[E4:” and “]”, I just want the content shown and character style applied.
Bonus question does ID do contextual formatting. In other words, I can export PDF for E1 and a second PDF E4, so I can maintain one document but have two different outputs.

To make text disappear, add a character style and name it e.g. ‘hide’. Set the point size to 0.1 and the horizontal scale to 1%. And for good measure set the colour to Paper. Then define two GREP styles in the paragraph style(s) using the ‘hide character style:
^\[E\d:
^.+?\]The first one hides [E1:, [E2:, etc, the second one hides the first bracket in the paragraph. This assumes that the first ] in every paragraph is the closing bracket of the code.
As to conditional formatting, you could look into conditional text if you want to maintain two texts in one document.
