It seems that grep cannot be used with canonize.
What is the best way of running a long list of
search-and-replaces on a large number of files?
I suggest you use a text factory populated with appropriate
"Replace All" actions.
As a brief overview: Choose File -> New -> Text Factory to
create a text factory, click the plus (+) button to add an
action entry, choose the desired action (e.g. "Replace All") and
click on the "Options" button to set its options, and repeat as necessary.
Once you've added and configured the appropriate actions, save
the text factory document to disk, then click the "Choose"
button in the upper right corner to choose the files and/or
folders you want to process, and click the green "Run" button at
the lower right to apply the text factory to those item(s).
[As a normal precaution, I suggest you run your text factory
against a few sample files to ensure it does what you want
_before_ turning it loose on your actual data, while for further
details, please see Chapter 5 of the manual, available via Help
-> User Manual.]
