The pesky ~c in the grep find change is extremely helpful but limited.

I want to script multiple find change actions that replace the text found with complex formatted text blocks containing text, tables and objects.

I use grep a lot, but I'm limited by only having one clipboard item.

Is there a way to have multiple item on a clipboard and pull from them via a script?

You can use the FindChangeByList script which comes packaged with InDesign (so everyone already has it). The script reads a text file that holds a list of "typed out" find/change commands that you can edit. These commands can be text, GREP, or glyph level find/change commands.
