multiple replaces

[kalos]

hello!

in various text files, excel files, word files, etc I often encounter this problem:

I want to make multiple replaces easily, for example:

replace a with 1
replace b with 2
etc

is there an easy way without me having to go through "search and replace" for each of these replaces?

thanks!

See if this piece of freeware (inforapid.com) fulfills your need. As far as I know it works on Windows 7 despite its age.
