GREP Loop 1.2

GREP Loop 1.2

Consider getting the GREP MEGAPACK instead!

Repeat Find/Change Until Complete

GREP Loop is an Adobe InDesign script that runs a GREP find/change over and over until there’s nothing left to change. Some find/change operations only partly apply on a single pass — for example when each change creates a new match, or when overlapping matches mean one run can’t catch them all. Normally you’d click Change All repeatedly until the count hits zero; this script does that looping for you in one click.

It picks up the GREP pattern and replacement you’ve already set in Find/Change, lets you confirm or edit them, and runs the change repeatedly against the scope you choose — the current story, the entire document, or a selected text range.

New in 1.2

• Streamlined, refactored release with a restructured Help window.
• Rebuilt as a non-modal palette with a single Search Scope dropdown (Current Story / Entire Document / Selected Text) that auto-selects based on your selection.
• Added a Reload button to refresh the Find/Change fields from InDesign’s current GREP preferences.
• User documentation (PDF)
