Hey Evan,

Three things...

  1. When asking for help like this please post the simplest possible testable macro.
    • This provides much more (and vital) information to potential helpers than you realize.
    • It saves people time and trouble and improves the likelihood that you'll get timely and useful assistance.
  2. Please review this: Tip: How Do I Get The Best Answer in the Shortest Time?
  3. This particular task is one where I'd just open the file in BBEdit and get the job done in a few seconds.
I recommend BBEdit because…
  • Although BBEdit is a commercial product, the trial version reverts to a
    still very powerful and free (BBEdit-Lite) version after 30 days.
  • It is very Mac-like.
  • It has excellent support for RegEx.
  • It is very AppleScriptable.
  • It has a two versatile command line tools.
  • It has been in continuous development for over 25 years.

Take Care,
Chris
