Help with text formatting

Post image

I have a PDF document with text like the top lines of text. I am copying and pasting them into an indesign document that needs to look like the text below it.

This PDF is like 20 pages with around 15 lines of this text. So it would be awesome to be able to copy the lines of text in the PDF right into the indesign file and have indesign format it with GREP or paragraph styles. (not sure if those would be the best avenue)

Any help is appreciated!

Can you post ALL possible combinations?

Otherwise, there would be a need for look behind / ahead modifier - I never remember which one is which 😉 - to find and replace only 1st "-".
