Is there a tool for doing a global or column-based substitution in a text or tabular file? For example, replace all instances of the number 2 in a column to a number 1?

Hello David,
There are tools to select data based on defined attributes or to perform calculations on existing data (Text Manipulation, Filter and Sort), but as such no direct user-defined substitution tools.
Very sorry for any inconvenience,
Best,

Hi David
Have you looked into the excellent "Galaxy Unix-Tools" package created by Gordon Assaf?

The "Find & Replace text in line/column" tool is probably what you are looking for:
