Editor Copy and Paste - Not Working

After loading a wsdl and opening a request. The editor is very limited in its search and replace functionality. I always do the following:
1. Replace all <!--Optional:--> comments with nothing
2. replace all changed="?" with nothing
3. replace all >?< with ><

It is not easy doing that in the editor in soapUI. It doesn't understand leaving the Replace textbox empty so in essence you are removing strings from the file.

It also doesn't understand regular expressions.

Finally, to put the icing on the cake, if you copy the request Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, paste it into your favorite editor and do the above search and replaces, you CAN NOT paste it back into soapUI.

I would kindly request that somebody look at these basic kind of search/replace functions and work on this instead of adding fancy bells and whistles. I ought to be able to edit soap requests in an easier fashion without going through the file line by line and deleting things.

    You should be able to paste a modified request back into the XML editor.
