Scripting + regexp + find/replace? This sounds like the BookCleaner functionality in BD. Is this what you had in mind? Anyway, yes, this is probably the most useful scripting application for such a tool. While I am sure that many here can think of dozens of other things they would like to be able to script (ISBN lookup or other net-oriented things, e.g.), I wouldn't consider those core functions of the tool, while something like BookCleaner probably is.

I personally don't, no.
