Is there a way to save and apply a set of edits?

I've downloaded a series of books that all have the same formatting and CSS. Takes me about a dozen edits (global replaces) and replacing the contents of the CSS file to fix each one as I'd like.

Does the Calibre editor have any means of saving and applying such a set of edits. They're both regex and non-regex replaces across all text files in the book.

After you have written the search and replace string in the Find box, Right-click on the Find box and select Save current search.

To display the saved search, in the View menu tick Saved Searches

Editor Chains plugin allows for saving these edits and applying them from a menu entry or a keyboard shortcut. Also, when combined with Action Chains plugin, it allows you to apply the edits to multiple books in the library in a one go.
