Windows Live Writer Plugin: Imtech Find & Replace

I use Windows Live Writer to post on my blog. Sometimes I just miss the Replace functionality which in my opinion is a must-have of each content editor - even the Notepad proves it. If I'm not wrong the Live Writer development team has promised to include the Replace in the next version. As a developer you have two options: waiting or just doing it yourself. I have chosen for the second one....

ReplacePluginDialog

The Find & Replace Plugin I have made support plain search as well as Regular Expressions. Furthermore you can do a replace on the Preview (F11 View) or the Source (SHIFT+F11 View).

You can download the Plugin from our CodePlex site. I have posted it to the Live Writer Plugins gallery as well, but I don't know how long will it take to have it published. In the meanwhile be the first one to have it: Imtech Find & Replace in Windows Live Writer.

ReplacePluginAbout

I have wrapped the Plugin in an MSI installer. Just run the setup and the Plugin with be automatically put in the Plugins directory of Live Writer.

Great Plugin!  Any thoughts on how one might go about creating a plugin to split table cells (or merge them)?

I think the catch would be to find a clever way to deal with the source code of the selection. First of all you would need to do some testing of various scenarios to determine the cases and the way WLW delivers the code of selected cells to the plugin. Then you might want to use some regular expressions or MSHTML DOM in order to do the required changes. Not really straight forward if you ask me, but doable though.
