I have a job where the architect is using multiple call outs for the same material.it's all based if it's on the floor ,furniture, ceiling, counters ,walls etc.
When I create my shop drawings I think I plan on using the architects call outs but I want to go back and find and replace the cryptic call outs with the material call outs actually call out 1 call out per material. How can I do this in a script. Then add that script into batch mode
Barry wouldn't this only work for one search and change at a time per file in the batch process. For example C-1 to Wd-1 ., Or could I copy line 2 through 4 with different criteria in the same text file?

Jon this doesnt seem to work properly. I get strange results with the 2 variables matches, replaced Iit may find 9 results and replaces that string with the same text 9 times in the same line
You can perform multiple changes per file, you just need to copy lines 2-4 each time
e.g.
MDL SILENTLOAD FINDREPLACETEXT,CHNGTXT CHANGE DIALOGTEXT FIND DIALOG SEARCHSTRING Original text string FIND DIALOG REPLACESTRING Replacement text string CHANGE TEXT ALLFILTERED FIND DIALOG SEARCHSTRING Another original text string FIND DIALOG REPLACESTRING Another replacement text string CHANGE TEXT ALLFILTERED FIND DIALOG SEARCHSTRING Yet another original text string FIND DIALOG REPLACESTRING Yet another replacement text string CHANGE TEXT ALLFILTERED
