I need to do something very simple with Google Docs/ Google drive :
I need to replace certain words within a Google docs document with another word on a large scale.
Currently I download the files as html, make the changes locally and upload the updated files again. Seems like a huge process for something rather simple.
Is there a way I can do this an HTTP request? Will this be supported by the API in the future?
Thanks,
You can use the Document services in Apps Script to easily replace text in your documents:
