Windows Live Writer: Find and Replace

It seems one of the biggest voids in Windows Live Writer has finally been filled - Search & Replace has arrived!

Search and ReplaceWaldek Mastykarz recently left me a comment to let me know that he was tired of waiting for the WLW team to add Search & Replace, so he took it upon himself to build a Search & Replace plugin, complete with... Regular Expressions!

Sometimes I just miss the Replace functionality which in my opinion is a must-have of each content editor - even the Notepad proves it. If I’m not wrong the Live Writer development team has promised to include the Replace in the next version. As a developer you have two options: waiting or just doing it yourself. I have chosen for the second one...

To sweeten the deal, the plugin has also been added to CodePlex, yea for open source! Anyhow, you can grab the bits from the CodePlex project site.
