Big thanks to Tim and Ron for helping me out with this.

Ron got me squared away with this update and all is well again.  :)

So, what we used to do with this lisp was to write a script that just ran this routine over and over again for each string we wanted to change.  With Ron's update, we just throw what used to be in the script down at the bottom of the code and run the lisp.

Again, many thanks to you both!  :)

Code: [Select]
(defun txtfind (patt newpatt / _replacetext e el n obj ss str)
        ;| Routine to find specified text and replace with new text. Works on Text,
    Mtext, Attributes and Dimension text overrides.
    WARNING: it will change all occurances of a pattern with the new text.
    Such as: if "test" "contest" "testing" are all valid text entries in the
    drawing, running this: (txtfind "test" "newtest") will change
    the original text to "newtest" "connewtest" "newtesting", but for the
    original intent of this routine that was not a problem. Modifications
    may be made to force matching of whole word only.

I needed a text "find and replace" routine I could use with accoreconsole and I found this thread which saved me a lot of time. I have modified the above routine (txtfind) to use regular AutoLisp (no VisualLisp).

Thank you to those of you that helped create/modify this routine. Here is my contribution.
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun txtfind (patt newpatt / _replacetext e el n obj ss str)
  2.     ;; Routine to find specified text and replace with new text. Works on Text,
  3.     ;; Mtext, Attributes and Dimension text overrides.
  4.     ;;
  5.     ;; WARNING : it will change all occurances of a pattern with the new text.
  6.     ;;           Such as: if "test" "contest" "testing" are all valid text
  7.     ;;           entries in the drawing, running this: (txtfind "test"
  8.     ;;           "newtest") will change the original text to "newtest"
  9.     ;;           "connewtest" "newtesting", but for the original intent of this
  10.     ;;           routine that was not a problem. Modifications may be made to
  11.     ;;           force matching of whole word only.
