[TxMt] Re: Select word and replace with different word

[Ross Ahmed]

Hi all

I don¹t think I captured what I was actually after in my question ­ my
mistake. Heres another try:

I often have a list of birds like this

Bar-tailed Godwit
Mallard
Redshank
Ringed Plover
Turnstone

I need to convert them into their abbreviated codes, so the list needs to
become:

BA
MA
RK
RP
TT  

My current strategy is to just manually replace each bird name with their
code. I was hoping to make 5 selections (multiple cursors, one cursor for
each bird name), and convert them to their codes in one keystroke. Does this
sound possible?

Thanks
Ross

Hi,
The easiest way (afaik) is probably to create a snippet that replaces Œrspb¹
with 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds¹ using a tab trigger.
