I have a script that extracts all of the links on a particular page. I want to then take the results of this operation and do a search/replace on all the urls that are returned and pass the results to another action. I managed to figure out a hacky way that involves exporting to a text document, then using a manually recorded macro that presses command-f, types in the two strings, then presses enter... Then reimports from the text document so I can pass the result to the next action. But clearly this is a ridiculous solution.

Is there a better way?

Well, you could spring the $5 for the TextEdit Action Pack <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/texteditactionpack.html >, which includes a "find and replace in text" action.
