Mitsubishi - GX developer Export/Import/API?

Hi,
Mitsubishi newbie here.

I am developing programs for a project, Q series PLCs using GX developer.
Code in different PLCs is similar in structure with maybe some small changes between each.

On other platforms when presented with this kind of job, might export PLC code out to a "text" format and then play with that and re-import and/or use API.

For example in Siemens S7, you can export source files (text) do find/replace etc. and compile in again, and there is also API which you can use to write/alter blocks.

Does any one in the community know of any methods/tricks relating to Mitsubishi to accomplish similar.

I see there are export/import options in GX Developer, but are greyed-out for Q-series, think these apply to older CPUs and language versions.

Any info/pointers appreciated.

If you display the code in stl you could do a search & replace there, GX Developer is not IEC1131 compliant like S7.
Also if it's mainly I/O changes then it's just as easy to do a search & replace in ladder.

Thanks Parky,
Will play with Statement List.

I had hoped there would be some trick to perform import/export, but as you say it may not be possible.
