FrameMaker search

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Nancy,

You could turn on Wildcards, and do this [0-9][0-9]in, but I you can't use
wildcards on the replace side. This could be done with FrameScript; if you
are interested, send me a sample document offlist and I will give you an
idea of what can be done. Thanks.

Rick

Hi, all.

I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been
omitted between the number and the unit.

In other words: 

Height: 17in
Depth: 21in
Width: 10in

Or:

The unit is 17in deep.

In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha
characters "in" and perform a search.

In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific?

As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns
up every word that contains the two letters "in" including, well,
**including**.

It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can
save the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find
out first if Frame has the capability.

--Nancy
