Change s in Cad

I like to know how I can write a program or a exe file to change a
text value written in AutoCAD program with out opening the cad file it
self and change the text manually.

I.e. if you have 300 or more drawings and all these drawings has a
date of submittal says (March 02, 2003), now if I want to change that
date to
(April 16, 2004) I have to open these 300 files one by one to change
the value of that date.

Well I looking for better way to do that.

Can I get some help?

Thanks

Use a script. The script will still open, modify, and close each drawing,
but at least you won't have to baby-sit while it's happening.

Athab,

Go to www.cadtown.com and download the BATCHRUN.ZIP under the Add-on
Tools for AutocAD section. Using this tool, you can process a group
of drawings without manually opening each drawing file.

You can easily create a lisp routine which searches for the target
string and replace it with another one. If you have problem doing this
e-mail me.

Cheers,
