MultiReplace Now Supports Lookup Files!

[Thomas Knoefel]

MultiReplace now supports external lookup files since version 4.2.0.22, making it easier to separate long replacement lists from replacement settings.

Lookups are essential for efficient data standardization, cleanup, and anonymization. Instead of managing everything inside MultiReplace Lists, just reference an external file which is cleaner, more structured, and easier to maintain.

There are two ways of using lkp. Here’s how it works:

Lookup File: countries.lkp

return {
    { {"DE", "GER"}, "Germany" },
    { {"US", "U.S.", "USA"}, "United States" },
    { {"FR", "FRA"}, "France" },
    { "IT", "Italy" }
}

Happy Replacing!
