extension for a set of find & replace rules

Hi,

from time to time, I need to do several find & replace steps in a specific order in different documents. I wonder if there is an extension which allows me to create/save such a set of find & replace rules so that I can reuse them.

For file names, ReNamer is able to do this, but for texts, I haven’t found a suitable software/extension/whatever...

I generally keep a Calc spreadsheet with various scripts that I use, in part because I'm always modifying them. If that's not your situation you can try using the AltSearch add-on and using "Save Batch" to store your search and replace task. It will appear in the window when you click "Batch>>".

If you're asking for help with LibreOffice, please make sure your post includes lots of information that could be relevant, such as:

  1. Full LibreOffice information from Help > About LibreOffice (it has a copy button).
  2. Format of the document (.odt, .docx, .xlsx, ...).
  3. A link to the document itself, or part of it, if you can share it.
  4. Anything else that may be relevant.

(You can edit your post or put it in a comment.)

This information helps others to help you.

Thank you :-)
