As always, use the right tool for the job.
For the majority of my text munging needs, emacs keyboard macros are capable, fast and easy.

Bunch of text mungers
its xml - thus a serialized object model.
Easier and more reliable to work on the dom I think.
But go ahead and live in your flat little world.

Er, come again?
20 seconds of work to do a one-off, vs. thinking and writing a program to do it the "correct" way. And what's the point of creating an object graph for the entire thing when he wants to change one tag's contents only?
I get work done. I don't worry too much about how I get it done unless it actually matters.
"flat little world"... Man, talk about your insults out of nowhere.

Eh? I did it in 3 lines.
Anyhow, I find it easier to modify data structures than to fiddle text- which is error prone. When the text represents a data structure, like source code or xml, modifying the parse tree is more reliable and, I think, easier.
Anyhow, you're taking me way too seriously. :-)

Re: Eh? I did it in 3 lines.
If I were going to do it more than once, sure. Otherwise it's a waste of time. Writing a keyboard macro is simple and quick, much quicker than even your 3 lines of code.
