Regular expression Notepad++ multiple replace?

Question

Is there a way to perform multiple search and replace using Regular expresion? I have strings:

aaa
bbb
ccc

across the plain text, and I want to replace them

aaa to replace with ddd
bbb to replace with eee
ccc to replace with fff

Is there a regular expression to do that at once, using one single regex?

I am using Notepad++

The general syntax is:

Find: (FindA)|(FindB)|(FindC)...
Replace: (?1ReplaceA)(?2ReplaceB)(?3ReplaceC)...

Notes: Be sure that the Regular expression search mode is checked

For instance:

• Find what: (aaa)|(ccc)|(eee)|(123)
• Replace with: (?1bbb)(?2ddd)(?3fff)(?{4}456)

gives:

• The string aaa is changed into bbb
• The string ccc is changed into ddd
• The string eee is changed into fff
• The string 123 is changed into 456
