使用Python和Notepad ++更改XML文件中包含的文本？

Question

I have an existing XML file: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8182569

I want to change all the text values of line2, line4, line7,line18,etc..by custom text like that:

1:Text1
2:Text2
3:Text3
4:Text4
etc..

What would be the easiest way to do that?

Answer 1

It seems to me that the procedure requested is not meant to be done programmatically but the OP is just looking for a workaround to avoid replacing a lot of lines - it may be tedious.

A part from developing a complex python script using lxml for instance, you may use another editor like sublime text ( http://www.sublimetext.com/ ) and its multiple cursor capability:

select the lines you want to replace, press ctrl+shift+l and paste the multiple lines.

However, if you want to mimic this approach on Notepad++ please check this answer
