xiaxiang Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Xia, I have designed BFind for use with ASCII characters, I cannot guarantee that it will work with Unicode characters. Lee Hi Lee BFind is very useful. It will be better for us asians if it would work with Unicode characters. Do me a favor,please! Quote
Lee Mac Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Hi LeeBFind is very useful. It will be better for us asians if it would work with Unicode characters. Do me a favor,please! BFind is also freeware; if you are unsatisfied with it then pay for a dedicated program that will handle Unicode. Quote
xiaxiang Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 BFind is also freeware; if you are unsatisfied with it then that will handle Unicode. Oh... Where is the program？Can you provide the Trial Version or some animation? By the way,can I get the source code if I pay for this dedicated program? Thanks Quote

mcweb Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Lee Mac, I just found your great program. Thanks! Is there was a way to perform the operation on a selection? Quote
Lee Mac Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Lee Mac, I just found your great program. Thanks! You're welcome! Is there was a way to perform the operation on a selection? Since this program is predominantly aimed at providing users with a batch find and replace solution, restricting the operation to a selection of objects could only apply to the active drawing, since there would be no way (or at least it would be incredibly difficult) to detect that same set of objects across multiple drawings. If you necessarily require the operation performed on a selection of objects, I would recommend that you use the in-built AutoCAD Find command which offers this functionality and would also be far more robust than my program.

mcweb Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 If you necessarily require the operation performed on a selection of objects, I would recommend that you use the in-built AutoCAD Find command which offers this functionality and would also be far more robust than my program. The built-in ACAD FIND command will not do multiple find and replace operations in one step, nor save and load a set of words to replace. I have been cutting/pasting text out to a temporary drawing session, running your code, then cutting/pasting back into the original drawing. I will continue using it this way. It still saves a lot of steps for me. Quote
himal Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Dear Lee when i use this Lisp, its came like this massage "Command: BFIND Working, Please Wait..... > >" If You have time please kindly attention my Prob. Quote
Lee Mac Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 himal, The message that you are receiving is not an error, but simply indicates that your 'find' string is not found in the content of any of the objects specified in the Options dialog within the drawings that you are processing. Lee Quote
himal Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks Lee Its my mistake Now OK Its work perfectly , you have done great job. Quote

nod684 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 is it possible to use wild characters in string? ex : *aarch/600 to *aarch/6000 Quote
Lee Mac Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 is it possible to use wild characters in string?ex : *aarch/600 to *aarch/6000 No, this is unfortunately not possible with the current program. Quote
