How do you get ONE alpha/num character to Syntax highlight?

I can't get it to work because it will only grab the character if it is followed by a space . . . and almost all of the (OCR'd) garbage I'm trying to clean up is entangled with other text. That's the reason I need it highlightedtsk. Here are examples; if there is a way to set this up in the syntax file without my having to artificially "prepare" the document with spaces it doesn't need just to see garbage highlighted I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks:
Apt. # 156 shows up as . . .
Apt. # 156
Apt.# 156 shows up as . . .
Apt.# 156
but
Apt. #156 shows up as . . .
Apt. #156

Why not put the # in the Operator chars and then set color Red for those?

oooo thank you for that MG.
Okay, I got it to work after some fiddling:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
BracketChars =
OperatorChars ==#
PreprocStart =
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Apparently the order of that = sign is important, because at first when the string read
OperatorChars =#= it would give me an error message.
Heads up: That = sign has to be the first symbol in the string (or so I gather).
Thank you
so much MudGard. You can't imagine how helpful this is.

The problem is with the space in "OperatorChars = # =". Change it to "OperatorChars = #=".
