these types of edits have been done in the past. they can be very
effective, but
they have also gone awry at times; one such edit in the western half of
the US
introduced a noticeable number of errors that weren't caught until a bit
later.

so it's a reasonable thing to do, but make sure that you have a quality
control
plan in place and make sure you execute it.

Hi, Pete:

I could easily write a script to solve this. In fact, I wrote similar
things for other "mass" name modifications already.

I think we can't avoid scripting for this task. You could of course
change all "Av." and "Av" by "Avenue" with a conventional plain test
editor, but you have to add "action='modify'" to every way you modify
their name.

If you like, I could write it this afternoon and change all names for
Lubumbashi area. Change would be "Av. " and "Av " to "Avenue ".

Cheers,

Rafael.

Re: [HOT] Highway names and abbreviations

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Pete,

I would be tempted to download the data to a .osm file, use find/replace 
in my fav text editor and then upload to the server.


I am obligated to mention the OSM Mass Edit policy of course as everyone 
seems to when talking about an edit like this :)


Or this solution in this person's diary sounds pretty good as well:

Blake

Re: [HOT] Highway names and abbreviations

[john whelan]

​The only way I can think of is to save the file locally then edit the OSM
XML file, you'll need to both change all the Av. to Avenue and tag it as a
changed record so JOSM will upload the changes.  I used to have a VB
program lying around somewhere that would do this.

[HOT] Highway names and abbreviations

[Pete Masters]

Hi all, I am doing some validation of data in Lubumbashi, Congo. there are
a lot of highways with abbreviations: Av. instead of Avenue. Is there a
process for changing these en masse in JOSM?

I have had a search and beyond using jython script (totally beyond me), I
can't find anything...

Cheers,

Pete
