There are a couple of ways to do this and only have 1 set of code, this is just one suggestion. It relies on you typing the function name with the values on the command line (txt2 2 300) (txt2 2 "A") note strings must have quotes. If you want to type 230 on the command line you can do that by making lots of mini defuns (defun c:230 ()(txt2 2 300)) have to repeat for all combo's you want. The 3rd option more complicated is you can type tx-y where x & y are any numbers, alpha's and a reactor method is used to provide the values to say (txt2 x y) need some time to recode some existing code which uses a error trapping method. ; original code by Tharwat ; two text entries added by AlanH (defun txt2 (t1 t2 / inc lst str brk sel get) (cond ((= (type t1) 'INT )(setq t1 (rtos t1 2 0))) ((= (type t1) 'REAL)(setq t1 (rtos t1 2 2))) ) (cond ((= (type t2) 'INT )(setq t2 (rtos t2 2 0))) ((= (type t2) 'REAL)(setq t2 (rtos t2 2 2))) ) (setq inc 0 lst (list t1 t2) str '("1st" "2nd") ) (while (and (not brk) (princ (strcat "\nSelect " (nth inc str) " text to replace with < " (nth inc lst) " > : ." ) ) ) (and (setq sel (ssget "_+.:S:E:L" '((0 .
