I'm looking for a solution to renumber strings in InDesign stories.
Each string has the same character style (and no other strings have
it) and typically consists of 1, 2 or 3 digit numbers, sometimes with
a letter. I want to find the first string, replace it by 1, find the
next, replace it by the last figure plus 1, and so on through to the
end of the story.
Then I want to do something similar in another story, replacing the
numbers at the the start of each paragraph with a sequential number:
1. First note.
1a. Second note.
2. Third note.
would become:
1. First note.
2. Second note.
3. Third note.
The string in this case would be everything between the start of the
para and the first period. (I could do this with auto para numbering
but want to have the number physically present for subsequent
processing.)
Does anyone have a script that does something similar to one of the
other? I can sometimes amend a script to do what I want, but have not
so far managed to write one of my own...
