&lt;p&gt;Stick the above in&amp;nbsp;a text file, edit the original and replacement text strings, load the file into the batch processor dialog and apply to the files you want to change&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Batch find and replace</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/582539?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2020 22:32:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:294c8fc4-531d-48db-8c76-68d94da3ff7d</guid><dc:creator>Jon Summers</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="2436" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/196092/batch-find-and-replace/582519"]It wouldn&amp;#39;t be too hard to come up with a simple find and replace VBA macro...EXCEPT that &amp;quot;text&amp;quot; can be text elements, text node elements, notes, dimensions, or nested in cells.

&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#39;t recall any key-ins for find/replace text, but that doesn&amp;#39;t mean there aren&amp;#39;t any. You could try searching this board because I think this has come up before.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The nice thing is that the Find/Replace dialog does actually recall some of the most recently used strings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can see what you want to do, but I&amp;#39;m not sure of a good way to automate it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Batch find and replace</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/582503?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2020 16:54:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e7451cba-4fd7-499b-9e76-dc00b4f7b56e</guid><dc:creator>Kirk</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Mary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would be replacing text call outs something like the following B1, W1, F2, WD-100a, to WD-1. all are the exact same material WD-1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There would be other scenarios also where another&amp;nbsp;group of call-outs are the same as another material.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Batch find and replace</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/582456?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:47:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:24af2416-fc64-4058-9cb4-223066bfba94</guid><dc:creator>MaryB</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;An example of what you want to do would be worth a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you looking for a straightforward Find &amp;amp; Replace? or are you looking to &amp;quot;find&amp;quot; a number of individual text elements and combine them into one?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
