I'm looking to search an entire XML file for specific text and replace that text, while maintaining the structure of the XML file.
For a one-off project, or for experimentation, I would use a proper text-editor* and run through with search/replace. For automation, use Jason's suggestion of .replace, perhaps on a line-by-line basis.
