Question

I would like to repeat this command as many times as there is still sometextin the field note (several rows from the table itemNotes could

Answer 1

As recommended by Stephan in his last comment, I used python to do this.

Here is my code :

import sqlite3
import re
keyword = "sometext"
replacement = "abc"

db = sqlite3.connect(path_to_sqlite)
cursor = db.cursor()

cursor.execute(f'SELECT * FROM itemNotes  WHERE note like "%{keyword}%"')

for row in cursor.fetchall():
    row_regex = re.compile(re.escape(keyword), re.IGNORECASE)
    row_regex_replaced = row_regex.sub(replacement, row[2])

    rowID = row[0]
    sql = "REPLACE INTO itemNotes (itemID,note) VALUES (?,?)"
    data = (rowID, row_regex_replaced)
    cursor.execute(sql, data)
    db.commit()
