I'm still a novice at GnuCash but from previous discussions I do not
believe that there is a global find and replace utility. But two ideas
come to mind. If your file format is XML, isn't that a text file? If it
is, you could use a text editor ('vi' if you're on Linux) to do a global
search & replace. Or, if you are using SQLite, you could use the dump
utility to create a text SQL file and, likewise, use a text editor. Then
rebuild your GnuCash file from the edited SQL dump file.
HTH!

I am looking for the command(s) or work-around to accomplish what I
used to use in Quicken as Find and Replace. Specifically, after
downloading multiple months of transactions from my credit union into
a simple checkbook ledger, I could use the Quicken "find" to select
all transactions with description "Safeway" and then select from them
to "replace" the category to "Groceries". I'm good in Gnucash up
through the Find part, can't figure out how to easily set the Account
without a lot of keystrokes. Didn't see anything in the
manual/help/faq. Suggestions? Thanks.
