Is there a more succinct way?

Hi, @anothersite. Welcome to the forum!

Here's another way:

In the macro I shared, note the following:

1. There is one Search and Replace action and the regex pattern is: /|,|- The vertical bar, a.k.a. pipe, is used to indicate or.

2. The default, All Matches is selected (in the gear menu).

3. The output, i.e., to, can be directed to the System Clipboard but I prefer to use Source when it's the same as the Search value.
