This macro setups a complex RE to translate between terms
First, create a block of text like this:
abc==>def
123==>576
Select those lines of text and call translateTerms().
This will populate the gui-replace dialog with a Perl RE to replace all those terms on the left with those on the right.
It is possible to swap terms like this:
abc==>def
def==>abc
All existing instances of "abc" are replaced with "def", while existing instances of "def" are replaced with "abc".
