How Do I Change a Leading Number to a Letter Using GREP - InDesign

Hello Folks - your worldly wisdom with GREP in InDesign would greatly help me with two huge catalogues Im producing. I have a catalogue which uses a four digit number as a product description (i.e. 1010 - Adjustable Door Carriage) and I need to produce its 'sister' version, which is exactly the same, however the product description changes to have the first number of the four digit sequence to be the equivalent letter of the alphabet (i.e. '1010 - Adjustable Door Carriage' should read 'A010 - Adjustable Door Carriage'). There are hundreds of items, and I don't want to manually have to do this - please tell me GREP can manage this type of change?
Ive got as far as searching for the string of four numbers, but am getting stuck when changing the first digit only to a letter? I have attached examples of what the two catalogues will need to look like. Your time is greatly appreciated, as it will probably save me months of time!
Cheers,
Jacquie from the West of Oz

Hello Obi-Wan,
Samples - yes of course - please see the attached/below for the two types of pages I will be creating. The first is the company version 1, and the second page is the company version 2, which has the first letter of the product number changed from a number to a letter.
Obi-Wan
Hope this helps!
Thanks muchly,
Jacquie

How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

HT5622 My husband and I share the same apple id for our iphones, how do we change the phone number associated with our apple id to his phone number? He is getting my messages because the ipod has my number in it not his?

My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?

Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
If he does not have an ID then
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

How do I change my phone number on my Apple ID account? Not the number for billing. I got a new Ipod touch and when I was setting it up my emails where correct but the phone number was wrong. The gentlemen at the Apple Store told me just to go on my account on my computer and change it but i cant find where. Only part i know how to change is the billing number. Thanks.

If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

How do I change the phone number of an original iPhone

My oldest daughter just got a new phone for xmas. She is giving her original iPhone to her sister (who's iphone was stolen) I erased the content, but how to I change the phone number to my younger daughter's #, which is still active.

I thought the data erase feature was only on the new G3's? We did think she had password lock on, which is why we figured it couldn't be returned. We thought whoever found it (she knows she lost it on the school bus, there were only two other high school girls on the bus at the time) couldn't get in to figure out who it belonged too...now we realized she had turned it off and someone actually "stole it" v. "found it"

Hello Babyygrl23,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there.
