Allan, (& the listers)
since this is something very useful, would it not be worth a) addition to the menu or b) at least a bundle as well as some "marketing"?
I believe there are many such really simple things where standard command line tools or one-liners would help but which are not as obvious to many people?
marketing: - daily hints - menu item - some prominent part of the help file - a prominent bundle name PLUS some form of documentation that cannot be overlooked? - maybe some form of hint on the search/replace window that there are alternatives? I remember a checkbox in TextWrangler/BBedit where you could use grep (just by adding this I looked up the docu which I might not have done otherwise!)
