I don't have much experience with LaTeX, but if I understand correctly,
what you're trying to do would typically be a candidate for a keyboard
macro in Emacs.  As in, press F3, then use normal commands to search for
the next occurance and modify it (using commands that go
forward/backward by word or syntax), and then F4 when you've finished
modifying that instance.  If you do it right, pressing F4 again should
modify the next instance, and so forth, until you reach the end of the
file.

There are also some handy packageson MELPA that will convert keyboard
macros to interactive commands/functions.

Hope this helps.
