Batch Find & Replace Text

[Least]

I think it would be a useful option (x and y or x,y and z), well for me anyway , glad it's on the back boiler.

Ok, I'll see what I can do when I get some time

[asos2000]

Find and replace characters such as @, %%C , %%P, ... etc

whats cfg file?

 

A configuration file, basically a text file with a different extension.

Found a few bugs in this version regarding performing the Find and Replace on the current drawing - these will be fixed in the next drawing.

[Lee Mac]

Code finally updated to Version 1.1, quite a few additions to this version, and a complete rewrite of the String Replacement function that does all the work in the program.

Nice one Lee,

 

But what about an option to match string case?

Just a thought.

Thanks Buzzard

 

String case is controlled using the first option in the options dialog

Lee,

 

When I run the code by way of the image below, I get this error:

 

Command:
BFIND ; error: Exception occurred: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation)
; warning: unwind skipped on unknown exception

Hi Buzzard,

 

Thanks for the report - in fixing one of the earlier bugs, I think I made another one for myself. I have updated the code in the first post, please let me know if this resolves the issue.

It still reports the same error only when Include Sub-Directories is clicked.

Thanks - I shall investigate

Lee,

 

I ran the code in 2004 when I got that error Before.

So I now decide to test in 2009 and it shows as an Automation Error.

 

Seems to me its a Version thing.

Here is the error in 2009:

 

Command: BFIND

** Error Opening File: Air_Force_Village.dwg **

** Error: Automation Error. Description was not provided. **

Command:

It sounds like its the ObjectDBX part that is failing, but I haven't had trouble with the code before

 

EDIT: After some testing, with drawings in folders/subfolders, various objects etc, I cannot seem to reproduce the error - could anyone else report if they are getting the same error?

I faced a problem, I don't know if it mentioned before or not, or it is normal

The batch doesn't replace the text in opened drawings, but change the file itself

Does this happen with the latest version? I knew there was a bug in the old version regarding that.

I downloaded again and tested BFind V1.1.lsp

 

I created a new folder and copied 5 dwgs in this folder

Run BFind

Only active dwg has been changed, and the other dwgs Text didnt change

and Autocad didn't ask to save other files, when colse all files

when open again all files the text has been changed.

 

This is the case
