Scripting a set of search and replace actions
This is probably RTFM but I'm lazy so sue me. I'm using Oxygen to do quick-and-dirty data conversion that requires applying the same set of search and replace actions to different files. What I'm doing is too ad-hoc to really warrant creating a full-on script or transform but I'm repeating the process enough times that I'd like to capture part of it. What I'd like to be able to do is save a sequence of search and replace actions that I can then easily load and re-apply. Is there a way to do that today?

Sounds like the wrong tool for the job... try Notepad++, UltraEdit or similar. It would be a shame if oXygen became bloatware. -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

I agree in general with this sentiment but my counter is that Oxygen has become my "do everything" XML environment and what's one more thing? I still use Textpad for a few things Oxygen doesn't do, such as block selection and sorting. Feature creep is always a danger, but I thought I'd at least ask...

It looks like feature creep for an XML editing tool. We may add such a feature in a future version. Thank you for the suggestion, Sorin Eliot Kimber wrote:
