Hey John,
This is an extremely basic proof of concept.
It finds files in the container of the current project document and uses the
items in the text variable findRepl to do the substitutions.
It would not be difficult to use a text file for the substitution pairs.
Perl I think would be a more efficient tool for this job, but BBEdit can sure
do it.
