For a one-off project, or for experimentation, I would use a proper text-editor* and run through with search/replace. For automation, use Jason's suggestion of .replace, perhaps on a line-by-line basis. * By definition, such only make changes you request. Notepad++ is one such on Windows. You do not want a word or document processor, or, for simple xml oblivious text substitutions, an xml processor. Such things often make changes of various sorts. -- Terry Jan Reedy
