How to replace a word with a different set of words

[vortex]

Can this be done?
----------------
test example text looks like this
test whatever text is this
test3 Blahh
test text looks this
test2 Blah
----------------
"test" should be replaced by "one" and "two" so that the final text looks like:
"test2" should be replaced by "uno" and "dos" and "treis"
"test3" should be replaced by "xx"

----------------
one example text looks like this
two whatever text is this
xx Blahh
one text looks this
uno Blah
----------------

this should be done from the beginning to the end of the textfile 1x. It could appear that a "testx" may not appear in the file. It should not stop at this point.


Thanx alot

Looks similar to Replace line after line, is this somehow possible and therefore I suggest to adapt the macro posted there to your word replacing need. How exactly the macro will look depends on the second file with the word sets. For example if the second file with the words to search for and replace with looks like this:

Code: Select all

!test
one
two
!test2
uno
dos
treis
!test3
xx

the following macro would do the job. The macro property Continue if search string not found must be checked for this macro.
