Python Script and the "re" module:

  *  you search the mailing list archive on how you enable "re"
     for use in Python Scripts ("import re" raises "Unauthorized"
     by default)

  *  you look in the Python library reference about regular
     expressions and the "sub" method.

If you want to just replace words, you can use "string.replace"
instead of "re". You would not need to learn how to
make "re" available in Scripts.
