Look for a second carriage return using InDesign Grep

I am looking for a grep expression for InDesign.

I have the following lines:

This is Line 1
This is Line 2
This is Line 3
This is Line 4
This is Line 5
This is Line 6

Line 1 and 2 will be right indent.
Line 3 and 4 will be left indent.
Line 5 and 6 will again be right indent.

There is a carriage return after each line, except line six. I want to target the carriage return after line 2, 4 and replace it with some other character or forced linebreak. How can I do that in grep?

Solution

  • Find what: (.+\r.+)\r

    Change to: $1#

    where # is your symbol.
