If there are a lot of replacements it might be easier to do a script. Open
Script Editor and create a script like this with all your find/replace
operations. This conducts its operations in the frontmost window.
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
replace "~NM1*87*2~N3*" using "↵ BILLING ADDRESS: " searching in text 1 of
front text document options {starting at top:true}
replace "~DMG*D8*" using "↵ SUB DOB: " searching in text 1 of front text
document options {starting at top:true}
replace "~~NM1*82*1*" using "↵ PROVIDER NAME: " searching in text 1 of front
text document options {starting at top:true}
end tell
You can use GREP as well by adding a search mode option.
replace "~NM1\*87\*2~N3" using "↵ BILLING ADDRESS: " searching in text 1 of
front text document options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true}
