I agree with Fredrik.

While there's certainly a 'correct' way to do this, emacs keyboard 
macros are great for these unusual repetitive tasks.  You could define 
the macro and execute it much less time than you could read the manual 
to learn the right way.

If it's a task you do constantly, of course learn how to do it.  But for 
one-time edits, keyboard macros are handy.
