I am looking for a utility to edit the events of areas in modules.
I never found an easy way to do it.
If I want ALL the areas of my module to have the same set of scripts in the events slots (OnEnter, OnExit, OnHeartbeat, OnUserDefine) I need to open the properties of each area and load the set or paste the name of the script.
This gets tedious in a module with lots of areas. And it is possible to miss one or two areas.
This utility would load the Module, ask for the name of the script(s) and insert them in each area file. (ARE type files?)
If a similar utility already exists please post a link to it.

There may be a specific utility to do it but I don't know. I wrote a set of utilities to convert modules to/from XML and that's what I always used when I needed to bulk edit something.
It's trickier than a purpose-built tool but if no one else posts a better answer it might be worth a try. The link to the page with the tools can be found in my signature. Or look for modpacker on nwvault.

Thanks for the reply.
I was expecting something a bit easier to use. Although I understand that your utility could be used to do it, my knowledge of XML is not too great.

Note, I am the author of that library.
Here's a script I am using on import into git for fixing area scripts of lame developers:

Wow  Thanks for the links.
I can see it will do it but this is not particularly newbie friendly.
