Hey Michelle,

I'm not aware of a method to change the number of the transient pattern stack, 
but you can use the button below that to SAVE search patterns and give them 
useful names.

You can also get there from the menu | BBEdit > Setup | and then going to the 
Patterns tab.

And if you're doing this a whole lot you should probably learn a bit about 
writing text-filters.

Here's a super simple one:

#! /usr/bin/env perl 
        use v5.010; use strict; use warnings;
#----------------------------------------

while (<>) {
        s!(men)!wo$1!;
        print;
}

Before:

01 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

After:

01 Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of their country.

I use Keyboard Maestro to actually open the Text-Filters menu, so I can 
type-select the one I want to use and hit <RETURN> to run it.

I think you can save yourself a great deal of tedium by learning just a little 
bit.
