I have figured out a work around to the comma separated thousands. I am running 2 S&R to do so:
1. search "#wordcount" for
and then replace with
in "comments" using "append to field" with the "split result" unchecked
2. search "comments" for
Code:
(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))
and replace with
in "comments" using "replace field"
Not elegant, but works.
