How to use Find Change to add FC in front of all item numbers?


hello,

 

i using indesign cs5 on imac, running os 10.8.3.

 

i designed product catalog has 148 pages. need save same design , make new catalog our wholesalers. on wholesalers catalog need change item numbers , add fc in front of each item number. how can use find change find each item , change them fc in front of item numbers? following few examples of item numbers:

 

led-4042 want change fcled-4042

ua-42 want change fcua-42

sc-110 change fcsc-110

kn-10 change fckn-10

 

etc....

i hoping there fast way find , change these.  looking in grep, not figure how this.

 

thanks,

omar

if absolutely sure of part numbers obey pattern in examples -- 1 or more uppercase letters, hyphen, 1 or more digits -- , no other "regular" text has pattern, grep indeed answer.

 

find:

\b\u+-\d+\b

 

replace with:

 

fc$0
