[]Select the records you want to modify.
From then on you have two options:
-
[]Right-click on one of the selected records, select "Apply Script...", select the script "Dank_ModifyStrings" and hit OK.
[
]Or you use the hotkey Ctrl+D to directly run the script.Afterwards...
-
[]Select an element type whos string you want to modify.
[
]Choose either Add Prefix, Add Suffix or Replace.[]Follow the instructions in the next dialogue fields.
[]Done.
You can also expand the list of element types by editing the script. In line 60 ff. you can find the following:
// Add editor fields you want to alter with the script here
cmbContainer. Items. Add('EDID - Editor ID');
Simply copy one of the "cmbContainer. Items. Add", insert it in a separate line and change the element name to the desired one.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved (380 endorsements) and widely downloaded (8,126)

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not play nice with the latest xEdit versions

For modders who regularly build patches for sorting mods and want to speed up bulk string edits. Skip if you're a player looking for gameplay changes—this is a modder's resource, not a gameplay mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the scripts in your xEdit 'Edit Scripts' folder, then run them from the 'Scripts' dropdown in xEdit
