@dlanorh you can use comma for the string pattern instead of the repetition of the same expression many times like this: *SEWER*,*SWR*" and you can add as many as you want.

This sort of works I need to go away and revisist, just do test and pick 1 mtext, if you pick them all does something screwy I just can not see it any one else please have a look. ; custom edit text remove some values add others ; convert mtext to list look for \\p 1st part ; then rip out anything past 1 word using tabs : BY alan H March 2019 ;(defun c:test ( / ans ss obj Y W lst nlst str x txt txtstr pos) (defun c:test ( /) (if (not AH:getvalsm)(load "Multi Getvals.lsp")) (setq ans (AH:getvalsm (list "Enter values" "Word to remove" 8 6 "NX" "Word to add" 8 6 "NC" "Lines at start" 5 4 "2"))) (setq txtstr "\\P") (setq ss (ssget (list (cons 0 "*text")))) (repeat (setq k (sslength ss)) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss (setq k (- k 1))))) (setq txt (vla-get-textstring obj)) (setq y 1) (setq lst '()) (while (> (setq pos (vl-string-search txtstr txt)) 0) (setq str (SUBSTR TXT 1 POS )) (setq lst (cons str lst)) (Setq txt (substr txt (+ pos 3))) (princ (setq y(+ y 1))) ) (princ "\n") (setq nlst '()) (setq w 0) (setq txtstr "\t") (repeat (length lst) (setq txt (nth w lst)) (setq pos (vl-string-search txtstr txt)) (setq txt (SUBSTR TXT 1 POS )) (setq nlst (cons txt nlst)) (setq w (+ w 1)) ) (setq nlst (reverse nlst)) ( setq j 0) (setq str "") (repeat (length nlst) (setq str (strcat (nth j nlst) "\t" (nth 1 ans)"\\P" str )) (setq j (+ j 1)) ) (vla-put-textstring obj str) (princ lst) ) ) (c:test) Multi GETVALS.lsp
