    copied!<p>I have a .plist file that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;name&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Alabama&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;abreviation&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;AL&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;date&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;1819&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;population&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;4,627,851&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;capital&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Montgomery&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;largestCity&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Birmingham&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; .... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want to add more information to the plist such as motto and nickname. They are in this format:</p> <pre><code>&lt;nickname&gt;Yellowhammer State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Last Frontier&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Grand Canyon State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Natural State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Golden State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Centennial State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Constitution State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The First State&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;The Sunshine State&lt;/nickname&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am considering doing some search and replace to add more information. I could also write a perl script to read the nicknames and add them into the plist.</p> <p>But, is there a text processing program that would allow me to iterate over the values and insert them in the correct spot? I have been searching through text processors/editors and cannot find what I am looking for.</p>
