i used to do the "batch edit in a texteditor" a lot, specially
with shake, but these days i'm usually trying to solve it
through python. takes me a bit longer (since i'm still not very
savvy at this) but i learn something new every time and it's
much more powerful.
one thing that helped me (regardless which approach) is to
define a user knob and expression link that to the value knob on
the important nodes when you set up your batch scripts. like:
set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
push $cut_paste_input
Blur {
size {{batchBlur01}}
name Blur1
selected true
xpos -131
ypos -268
addUserKnob {20 User}
addUserKnob {7 batchBlur01}
batchBlur01 1
}
that way, instead of searching for "size 1" and hoping that it
it only affects the right nodes (or doing multi line searches
and hope the layout is the same in all scripts) you can just
look for the user knob name (ie "batchBlur01 1" here) which
should be unique.
