Here is a really good lisp routine by Thomas Berger.
It allows you to specify a string (partial strings DON'T need ? and * characters), and a replacement string, it searches the entire drawing and does the replacement.
So if you want to replace ROOF4-TILE with ROOF-TILE then just run GSR and enter ROOF4 at the first prompt, and ROOF at the second.
For those of you with lots of wrong text inside block attributes, this routine can be a lifesaver.

Hi, BK,
I tried this routine and it is very good, do you know a script with the same function?

Hi anto1,
Currently, to be able to specify which blocks to perform it on is not implemented... you have to perform it globally on each drawing, and you would use the "Search and Replace Text Wizard" found in the Wizards menu in Hurricane.
Make sure that you select "Process Blocks".
Hope this helps!

Hi anto1,
If you are wanting to update certain attributed blocks... it sounds like you need to be using the TITLE BLOCK UPDATE wizard. It works pretty slick. Just make sure you hit the CLEAR button and type in a template name before you start filling in the attribute fields and block name field.
Good Luck! |

Hi anto1,
I would think that the GSR lisp could be modified to do this, but I am no lisp expert.
I've looked around for another "Text Search and Replace" lisp to perform what you require, but unfortunately, nothing is coming up.
Maybe someone in here can modify GSR.LSP... I'm sure to the seasoned lisp programmer, this is an easy task.
Anyone? 
Thanks,
Bill |

Hi anto1:
Maybe I finally have something to contribute to this forum rather than always taking. Try this GSR lisp file. I think this will do what you want to do. If you compare this file to the previous one, you will see that I only had to add a "1" to two lines of the code. Anything ("a", "anto1", "steve"), etc. would have worked in place of the "1". Basically, if anything is added to that location in the "getstring" function, it tells AutoCAD to accept a space in the string. Hopefully that is what you wanted to accomplish. If not, I apologize for wasting your time.
Good luck.
