Matt,
>From the terminology you are using, you seem to have fallen into the
trap of thinking of defines as functions which you call. I highly
recommend you avoid this; it leads you to certain mistaken assumptions
about how defines work.
>From your description I am having difficulty understanding what you
are trying to accomplish. Can you provide some specific details? You
are trying to perform a search/replace on multiple files in a single
resource?
With those questions answered I might be able to help.
