Changing multiple documents at once
Hello,
I have a series of articles (a few hundred to be exact) that I wish to customize in the following way. To each article I want to add a numer of sentences. The sentences are the same for each article except that there is one phrase which changes depending upon the title of the article. For example, if the article is called computer repair advice then I would add a few sentences with that phrase placed in those sentences. If the article is called home schooling websites then I'd add the exact same sentences, adding the phrase home schooling websites in the same place that I had previously put computer repair advice. Is there a way to automatically do this for each and every one of these articles? Right now I am cutting and pasting the sentences in and then doing a find and replace, which obviously takes a bit of time. Also, I don't know whether or not it is important, but the articles are in .txt format. Thanks in advance. All the best, Moshe |
