Add a "lines match" boolean option to the macro :

• Yes: search and replace in each line independently - loop on matches on loop of line strings
• No: search and replace in the whole document at ounce - loop on matches of one string

Solution:

• A. add the possibility to match the whole file, and not only loop on each line of the file
• B. when processing a whole file, tell the Pattern object to match lines and the opposite when processing each line. See the Java Pattern.MULTILINE modifier: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#MULTILINE

Other interesting modifiers:

• CASE_INSENSITIVE
• UNICODE_CASE
• DOTALL
• LITERAL
• CANON_EQ
• UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS

The quote() method looks also promising in some contexts.
