Charlie,
You should be able to do it in a command file.
Have a couple dialog commands to name the file you want to search, what you are searching for and then what you want to replace it with.
Then write some code to do the srpl(), using variables and you can use it over and over again with out rewriting anything.
Then add a load statement at the end of the file.]

Is there a way to do a search and replace on an external file before importing it into a database?
