Overview fixing tool? A call to developers

If I had the know-how I would do this myself, honestly.
However what I do know about programming doesn't extend to how to modify external files.

What I want is a program that will take an exported overview XML file and add the groupid for attack battlecruisers where the groupid for combat battlecruisers is present, and also add the groupid for blockade runners where the groupid for blockade runners is present.
This way someone could easily export their overview settings in EVE to a file, have the program modify this file, and the user would the import this file back into EVE to effectively batch update their overviews to make sure they can see all the ships they want to see, instead of having to go through all of the overviews individually.

I'm currently attempting to figure out how to do this, but I'm posting this to see if anybody else is willing to try or has already made such an application.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

You can do this with a sed command from a linux command line. http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html =)
