A quick and very easy question:
In a file I have few occurrences of text between parenthesis. How do I perform a find of the text with parenthesis?
For Instance in this text:
TTT: Shoah e cultura visuale in ItaliaOOO:Damiano Garofalo (Università di Padova, Fondazione Museo della Shoah)Luca Peretti (Yale University)MMM:Robert Gordon (University of Cambridge)1. Andrea Minuz (Sapienza Università di Roma) — Memoria della Shoah, defascistizzazione e costruzione del 'bravo italiano' nei documenti della censura cinematografica (1945-1951)2. Vanessa Roghi (Sapienza Università di Roma, Rai Tre) — Making of di un documentario (mai fatto) sulla Shoah3. Damiano Garofalo (Università di Padova, Fondazione Museo della Shoah) — La memoria della Shoah nello spazio intermediale. Per un immaginario storico del presente
If I do a search like (Any Character) it does not work.
Thanks for your help

G’day!
Searching for "(AnyCharacter)" will only find occurrences of a single character delimited by parentheses.
If you are using PowerFind, try "(AnyCharacter 1+Shortest)” instead, where I have included a space merely to separate the two wildcards here, for legibility.
If you are using PowerFind Pro, try “\(.+?\)” as the search term.

Thanks! It works!
Now If I want to make italics what I have found BUT the parenthesis how I would go?
(Any Character I found)
Have a wonderful day.

Re: Search Parenthesis
You can do that by using "Preceded By" and "Followed By" in the Match menu on the parentheses. Here's what it looks like with Powerfind:
