InDesign GREP snippets
InDesign uses a Perl flavor of regex.1 The following are some useful expressions I have accumulated over the years.
Find page references
\b(([Pp]age)|(p+\.))\s\d+
Remove extra white space
This looks for contiguous white space characters and removes all but the last instance.
Find:
(\s+)(\s)
Replace:
$2
Footnotes:

As far as I know this is not documented by Adobe directly. See this question on the graphic design Stack Exchange.
