When I had to do something similar, I wrote a macro :-)

If you do not know much about macros, you probably need to record one,
and I expect that the macro recorder is poor enough that the only real
solution would be to do the first one by hand, copy the correct result
to the clipboard, then record a macro that pastes the value and then
searches for the next occurrence. If you are left with a regular m2
selection, run the macro again. if not, well, you are finished.
