Topic: changing existing text to new style

[Hangman]

Good afternoon,
So am I just dyslexic, ...  I've searched repeatedly for this and can't find a thing.  But I know it has been discussed before.
I am looking for a segment of code, (preferably LiSP) to change a selection of existing text to a new text style.

And while we're on the topic, how does the search function work ??  You guys will undoubtedly show me some links to other discussions that I haven't found, but I guess I don't know how to search for anything.  I feel so stupid.

Two ways of many:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:test (/ Styl i ss ent)

  (setq Styl "Standard")

  (if (and (tblsearch "STYLE" styl)
           (setq i -1 ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "MTEXT,TEXT")))))
    (while (setq ent (ssname ss (setq i (1+ i))))
      (entmod
        (subst
          (cons 7 Styl) (assoc 7 (entget ent)) (entget ent)))))

  (princ))


Code: [Select]

(defun c:test (/ Styl obj ss)
  (vl-load-com)

  (setq Styl "Standard")

  (if (and (tblsearch "STYLE" styl)
           (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "MTEXT,TEXT"))))
    (progn     
      (vlax-for obj (setq ss (vla-get-ActiveSelectionSet
                               (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
        (vla-put-StyleName obj Styl))
     
      (vla-Delete ss)))

  (princ))

You can start your search here:
http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=24700.msg359343#msg359343

The key for me using search is coming up with a phrase and then put it within quotes to
limit the number of hits. Also search only the relevant forums.

Yep, searching is a little like magic ;  the incantations are just as important as the pot.

ALMOST   Definately quotable !!!
Alright, so, ...
How do I make it forum specific ??  Every try I've made so far has pulled up all the forums.

Select 'Advanced Search'

Select 'Choose a board to search in, or search all'

Set your search criteria and Choose the forums
