I am no programmer, too; I think I would go with emacs keyboard macros.
You do not need any extra tools or special programing knowledger:
Just the basic emacs commands.

See this:
,----[ (info "(emacs)Keyboard Macros") ]
|    You define a keyboard macro by executing and recording the commands
| which are its definition.  Put differently, as you define a keyboard
| macro, the definition is being executed for the first time.  This way,
| you can see the effects of your commands, so that you don't have to
| figure them out in your head.  When you close the definition, the
| keyboard macro is defined and also has been, in effect, executed once.
| You can then do the whole thing over again by invoking the macro.
