Subject:Batch search & replace according to a text file From:"Broberg, Mats" <mabr -at- flir -dot- se> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 23 Nov 2005 22:32:39 +0100
Dear all,
I need to search for approx. 250 different expressions in each and one of approx. 5,000 different XML files. For each match, I need the function to replace the expression with another expression that can be specified in an external text file (where also each original expression is stated). The expression is an if-clause that is surrounded by special tags, so there is no risk expressions in the body text will be replaced.
I suppose this could be done by a script or something like that? Any script experts out there?
Best regards,
Mats Broberg
