@mhupp as long as you are highlighting objects then I believe it would be much better to get the ones in current active space only than selecting all matching objects in the other invisible spaces.
This will select/highlight any text that starts with "Area" or ends with "m2".
(defun C:seltxt (/ SS)
(setq SS (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "*TEXT") '(1 . "Area*,*m2") (cons 410 (getvar 'ctab)))))
(sssetfirst nil ss)
(princ)
)
Sound like all educated guesses to me @Steven P
So Autocad gives the user another chance to input the correct number.
where Bricscad says "Error: PDF underlay page not found." and exit the command.
