GREP in InDesign: Shortest Match

Ever perform a GREP search in InDesign, only to have it select too much text in a paragraph? GREP is "greedy" by default and sometimes you have to rein it in. Using the shortest match expression tells InDesign to find each instance of a pattern and then format that text, before continuing with the GREP search.

I hope this video was helpful in working with GREP. Let me know what other types of things you want me to talk about. Leave me a comment or a question below or find me on social media (links below).
