Hi Ryan, I'm curious ... have you written any VS extensions yourself that operated on open project files ? A reasonable suggestion, but one I just don't have time to pursue. And, I can achieve what I want with UltraEdit. In my research on multi-line replacement, I came across a reference saying NotePad++ also has multi-line find.replace. thanks, Bill
