Find all the questions in a document

Post by sethgodin »

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I haven't found it in the forum:

How to find all the questions in a 200 page document?

Powerfind lets me find all the sentences, but not the sentences that end in a question mark. (Once I find them, I'm going to copy them all at once and bring them to a new doc).

I'm sure it's easy, but I'm stumped.

Thanks.

If you're not too picky about selecting enclosing quotation marks, this PowerFind Pro / regex search expression should do the trick:

Code: Select all

.+?\?
