Hi Gord
You could also try exporting all the transactions from GnuCash to CSV,
correcting the CSV file, and importing to a new GnuCash database.
I did a similar exercise recently to split an enterprise into two - a
38,000 line CSV file imported without any problems (once I remembered to
tick the "Multi-split" option, see attached).
Good luck.

No, there is no way to en-masse manipulate multiple transactions. The
ONLY en-masse thing you can do is reassign all transaction from one
account to another account. For example, you could move ALL transactions
from "Imbalance-USD" into, e.g. Expenses:Groceries, by deleting the
Imbalance-USD account and telling GnuCash to target. But if you're
looking to reassign a subset of transactions, then no, there is no way to
do that.
Let me explain. I'm new to GnuCash and have just imported my Quicken data
QIF file but it appears that some transactions within splits have no
transfer account assigned. It appears that I did not have a category
assigned to them in Quicken. However, most seem to have the same memo
text.
There are really too many to do manually so some sort of find/replace
would
be helpful. If it's not possible within GnuCash, can the XML file be
edited
directly?
Sounds like you might be better off starting over and re-importing the
QIF. Fix the QIF file to assign a proper account target (or better yet,
map the Memo to the correct account during the QIF import).
