Replace words in list

Replace words in list uses substitutions lists to replace strings in files. It is possible to process all lines of the files or only the first one. To replace whole cells of tables, use Replace cells in list.

Manual :

caution : be careful with overlapping strings, there will be a partial substitution.

To substitute words, use spaces around the words in the list.

To allow cell replacement in a table (except for the last cell of the rows) use replace_word_in_list_tabulation in the zip file. This version add a TAB after the keyword

Use conflict_replace_word_in_list when you want to replace more than one string per line with possible conflicts. For example, if you substitute

A => B

C => A

the result is not the same if the replacement start by the first or the second line. To avoid this issue conflict_replace_word_in_list use unique identifier for each string.
