Search/Replace in Max Editor

Hello,

I often come across the problem that I want to change a send and receive name or add/delete the --- for internal/global transmission all over my patch. Or I like to change multiple texts in a big patch.

In every usual code editor there is a way to search/replace but I can't find that in the Max editor.

I tried to open the .amxd file with a text editor and change the data there, but afterwards the files won't open in Max anymore.

Does someone have an idea how to solve this?

I found the mac textedit made some weird stuff to the file but it works with PHPStorm.

It it absolutly feasible to open Max Files in code editors and make search/replace operations there. How awesome!
