No, you don't need an extra temporary name. If you have a MIF file,
you can use a text-processing command that changes string1 into string2,
and the other way around, without any risk of confusion.

As an example, on UNIX:
  sed 's/InCondition `string1/InCondition `string2/\
  t\
  s/InCondition `string2/InCondition `string1/' filename.mif > newfile.mif


This may look like greek to you, but it works :-)
(For those of you familiar with sed, it's the 't' command that ignores
the second replacement if the first has already been made.)
