I have a huge XML file I need to do a Search and Replace

  • 0

I have a huge XML file I need to do a Search and Replace operation, but only within the content of the XML, not the tags (so, not change anything between < and >).

Manager having to edit, I have no clue of regular expressions. My editor of choice is Notepad++ but I’ll use another tool if I have to.

So in the following snippet:

<resource key="Facility_Picker.lblallFacilities">Available **Facilities**</resource>

Replace the second ‘Facilities’, not the first (as that would break the code, obviously).

Thanks!

    XML and RegExp is a very bad combination (since the structure of XML is inherently non-regular), so I would recommend against regular expressions for this task.

    I havent tried this program, but you can see if it works for you:
    http://xmlsearchreplace.codeplex.com/
    It should be able to do what you want to, and if you can load you file in NotePad++ then it can’t be that big..
