[Zope] Help with String conversion in Zope

[Dennis Allison]

I'm not sure what you need -- I assume you want to do a search for Zope
objects based on their content, then do a search and replace on their
content.   The "by hand" apprach is to use the FIND tab to locate the 
objects and then edit the objects through the ZMI.  Is that right?

If that works for you, take a look at the ZopeFind method in 
lib/python/OFS/FindSupport.py.  Using that you can get a list
of (path, method) pairs of objects to be edited.  You then would 
need to write a zope method to do the actual edits.


(You probably should copy the zope list on all communications liek this 
as (1) you get input from a larger group, and (2) others can benefit from 
the collective solution to your problem.   For these reasons, I've copied 
the Zope list here.)
