The title pretty much says it all.

I'm trying to import gpx maps into maemo mapper using a combination of plotting routes on the likes of Gmap Pedometer and Bike Route Toaster and then using GMapToGPX to convert the results into gpx files.

I then edit the resulting gpx file to rename element names to more maemo-mapper friendly element names.
So <rte> becomes <trk> and <rtept> becomes <trkpt> using a simple find and replace in any text editor.

Unwanted <ele>0</ele> nodes are stripped out again using a find and replace.

However I'm left with a load of <name> Turn # </name> nodes where # is a number starting with 1 and goes on sequentially.
If there's a lot of turns it's painful to delete them manually.

Hence my requirement for a text editor that supports wildcard find and replace.
