Possible to Edit Existing Script?

[chicagoskiguy]

I just created a bunch of programming using Ryan's excellent LED Wizard and his Web Events driver - based on the command in the URL the LED's of the keypads change colors. It's not the most complicated thing in the world, but it's probably 50 lines with 20 of those nested "IF" commands and "Breaks"

 

Now I want to change the color used  in the remaining 30 or so lines. 

 

I don't see how there is a way to edit the script, only delete and re-add. I see a "find and replace" but that just seems to crash composer. 

 

Anyone have any ideas?

The easiest way to do that for me is to use Cut and Paste.

 

You cut the script, and paste it into an XML editor.

 

Then you can edit it as text as much as you'd like.  If you're careful and pay attention, you can make some interesting changes, like colors, etc.

 

Then, select all the XML, copy / cut it, and paste it into ComposerPro.

 

It's not as easy as graphical editing, but it's faster in some situations.

That worked PERFECT. I had no idea that when you copy, it copies the XML behind the programming. 

 

Excellent drivers - excellent tip!

 

Thank you Ryan.

Any suggestions for a good XML editor?  For  the Mac and free would be preferable, but not necessary.
