Globally replace conditionalized text

I'm not aware of a plug in that allows that type of conditional text
only find-and-replace.

Grep is easy though. Just save the FM files as MIF, which is an ASCII
version of the FM binary and have at it. Be aware that if you alter
the .mif file structure itself, not the text, that you're going to
corrupt the file.
