Finding every instance of a word and mass-changing them all to a different format

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

I know this is a stretch and not the usual way Scrivener is used, but just in case…

I have over 100 books loaded in one project (over four million words with about 1,200 chapters), and need to find every line with “CHAPTER” and change it to H1. This is a regular thing for me and I usually find, click, command/option/4, find, click… and on and on, over 1,000 times per project. I have a feeling there’s no shortcut for this, but the mind-numbing tedium is really getting to me this time.

Is there ANY way to mass find a word and change every line with that word to a different format? Find and Replace can do spelling/capitalization, but doesn’t seem to do formatting. I know this is a strange ask, but is there any sort of work-around that I’m not thinking of?
