I am fiddling around with regular expressions and I just can't get anywhere. I've done some before in Linux/Unix and TextPad but not in InDesign (CS2 4.03).

A catalog has price info I want to remove.
A price paragraph has the following format,

<article number><tabs, one or more><price>\n

Price format is always two decimals and has the "." decimal character.

I've tried this but it's no good. \t[0-9]+.[0-9]{2,}$

Should I iterate trough all paragraphs or use the story.contents.replace method? I've seen a few alternatives.

Thanks!

(:
