You don't necessarily have to write any elisp at all for things like
this.  If you can use replace-string or search-forward then you can use
a macro.  Start recording with F3, do the search and replaces with
something like M-% then finish with F4.  Then do M-x insert-kbd-macro
and it'll give you a bit of elisp code.  You can turn that into a defun
and put into your init file if you want to.
