It has been suggested that I ask:

Please describe what you want to happen in the following circumstances:

1. The tool finds "BY " but there is no subsequent comma in the same
paragraph.
2. The tool finds more than one string starting with "BY " and ending with
"," within one paragraph.

Hello from Steved

In this context in each paragraph has only one "BY" and always has a ",".

So the answer to your question Suzanne is as above.

The below is from 2 paragrahs I can now see the confusion.

examples below is 2 paragraphs off several.

Hello JoAnn from Steved

Yes I can see where you are coming from, no this is a question as explained
in better detail in Suzanne's reply.

What you're looking for is a wildcard search
(http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm). The important
point is to click the More button in the dialog and click "Use
wildcards" to change the search mode.

In this case, your search expression could be

BY [A-Z ]{1,},

to find text that starts with BY and contains only upper case letters
and spaces (notice the space between the Z and the bracket) and ends
with a comma. If you don't care what characters come between BY and
the comma, including other punctuation, numbers, and lower case
letters, as long as they're in the same paragraph, then the search
expression could be

BY [!^13]{1,},
 
Thankyou Jay
