Hi Vasily - I suspected you might be using some sort of script wrapper around sed. That is certainly an option, though it seems to me a fair bit of work to accomplish what should be fairly simple. One problem I see is that the preprocessor would have to run through all files before submitting to therion. When additional files are added to a project, there may be some confusion regarding which replacements have already been processed. There is also the matter of file portability. Once someone invents their own naming scheme and shell scripts to process the expansion, then those source files are not usable on any other Therion system. Hmmm..... I wonder how much of this could be done with make? Food for thought! As Vladimir noted, this is a "nice to have" feature request. I think there are other changes that should have higher priority, such as area joins. Still, if we never make a request then it will never get on the list of things to do.

I am not familiar with this. Can you provide a few additional details?
I am using a software build system Rake to make a whole map of cave from ~120 survey files.
The build system get each survey from 'SRC' folder, run some scripts on it and save result in '.CL' folder. This scripts transform the contents of survey files.
Therion's thconfig compiles maps from files located in '.CL' (the build system is used to run therion compilation too)
For simple replace %CAVENAME% with real name is possible to use sed unix utility. For more complicated cases you may using macro processor (m4 for example) or write your own script.
In my case the legacy surveys has data which is not covered by therion directly. Then I generated some additional shots by script to utilize it
