Hi,
a user convertor seems to be suitable for this task;
there is som einfo in the helpfile and a template file, with some examples:
...\PSPad\Convertor\Template.in_

You can try the following pattern (after completing the other abbreviations)
save the file e.g. as

...\PSPad\Convertor\BiblAbbr_Eng_Pol.ini

All occurences of the found strings will be replaced with strings replacement mode, if this is not wanted (e.g. for matches within other text), the regex mode can be used, where \b can mark the word boundary (however, currently it also matches next to accented letters etc.)

The user convertor is called from the menu Tools: User convertors... (after saving the ini file in the correct folder, the item will appear in the list of convertors.

hth,

And there is a makro, what can call user convertor to all open files.
First call let you choose convertor, following call will use the same convertor on rest of open files.

It seems to convert correctly, I haven't found any error at the moment.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Jan, I think username pspad should be blocked and used only by you.
