Greetings, I have multiple search lines that applying to every book I work in (find and replace) can I find plugin or something to find and replace these multiple function in one step?

I use this all the time for my cleanups

Tools: saved search
Create a group of the individual saves (move them into the group)
To use: Select the group (standard highlight), Click Load (blue circled), click Replace all (red circled)
Note:All the Search and replace modes are STILL in control.
That is where you set the scope and type. Current file or All HTML or CSS (must use current AND have focus)

When running on a group, you don't have to press Load Search.

That button is there if you want to take a single saved search and "load" it into the Find/Replace boxes.

Thanks for the help it worked!
and good to know that I don't have to use load search.

but I've notice an issue that replace doesn't read specific regex line like $1 that keep page numbers which (\d*) from changing but instead it leaves $1 and remove number like it's a normal text

Find:
<page(\d*)>

replace:


the results that I got from vs code editor is this:

(which is my attempt)

but for some reason the saved searches panel in sigil give the same result which is:


but any regex code work fine in it like .*? but not $1 for some reason.

PCRE regex doesn't use the $1 syntax for replacements. Use \1 instead.
