You're a little bit fast for me on that one. :-)
I did it by hand for what I needed right now, but I was asking for next
time.
In the 3rd paragraph, by "separate register" do you mean create a temp
account,
and by "putting them in a separate register" do you mean cut/paste each
transaction?
Then delete the temp and move the transactions to the new account?
The replace is one of the features I really miss from Quicken.

If you're changing every ABC to DEF, you can delete ABC and tell
gnucash to move the transactions into DEF. That's documented in the wiki.
If you're only deleting a bunch (but not all) there isn't one find and
replace command. When push comes to shove, though, even fixing 100
transactions will only take a few minutes' time.
If it were me in this second scenario (and it has been, believe me!),
I'd search for the offending transactions, putting them all in a
separate register, copy the new account designation, and paste it into
each transaction at the appropriate point before pressing enter to
commit them away.

*Subject:* [GNC] changing accounts?
Is there some way to change all the entries for a set of
items in an account to be charged to one account to
charge them all to another account?
For instance, if I have a monthly charge from XYZ that I charge
to account ABC, and I have a bunch of them in my Checking
account, is there a way to change all of them to DEF without
going in and poking each one? And that's where a simple
account name change ABC->DEF won't work because there's
other stuff in there.
In other words, like a global replace?
TIA!
