Well, one thing you can do is export the document as Latex, run your awk
script, and then import it back into Lyx. I've done that kind of thing
myself to make much more complicated sorts of changes. E.g., I'm working
on a book that involves a fair bit of mathematics, and I had a lot of
formulae that looked like this: Q^*= ab. It occurred to me long after
I'd written most of the initial draft that I'd have been better off
using a "math-macro", but of course there's no way in Lyx to do that
kind of search-and-replace. So I exported it to Latex, wrote a Perl
script to handle the conversion, and re-imported. Worked like a charm.

Hi All,
I have a document in which latin characters like i.e. and e.g. are not
italicised. Is there a way to do a find and replace on i.e. and change it to
italics. Dealing with a latex document would have been straightforward, as i
could have done an awk to replace these characters. However, lyx file seems a
bit more complicated. Anybody has an idea how can i do this?
