WildEdit: --no-backup, --with-recipe

[roderickm]

[I posted this msg in the WildEdit forum before I noticed the "Enhancement Suggestions" Forum]

1) Give me a switch to disable writing backup files, possibly with modal poup: "Warning: You're about to do a search-and-replace across X files with NO BACKUP. Continue? Y/N" Once I've tested my regex and want to run it across hundreds of files on a regular basis, it only slows down the process to make so many backup copies that I know I won't need.

2) Allow a list of search-and-replace actions to be created, saved, and replayed on a file target set. I need to run three distinct regex replacements on hundreds of files weekly. Instead of uploading them to a box that runs Perl properly, I'd like to open a WildEdit "recipe" and click the Play button, confirm that I don't want backups, and go grab my coffee.

I like the convenience of WildEdit. I'd like it more with these two features.
