I don't think you will get a readymade solution for this. You might have to hire a scripter to get this done and for that assignment to succeed, you will have to clearly define your requirments. Probably if you want to write the script yourself, give it a start and share if you get stuck or something does not work right.

I think the best would be GREP - but you need to rewrite your "requirements" 😞

 

Best would be if you can show some examples of the text - and specify what platform - PC or Mac/Apple?
