redefine block thru scripting

I have a block in some drawings (rel. 2004) that I need to redefine. I can't
seem to figure out how to do this thru a script. Can anyone tell me how to
do this. I need to insert the block RR= to redefine, but i cant get this to
work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mike,
Here is part of a script file I wrote a while ago to redefine blocks in a
drawing.
One line is an example how to handle block names with a space in them, the
other is for names with out any spaces.

;Update Blocks.scr
;
-Insert
"BUILDING CORNER=C:\EMorrill\Projects\Backup\LRWD\Blocks\BUILDING CORNER"
0,0
1
1
0
;
;
-Insert
CROSS=C:\EMorrill\Projects\Backup\LRWD\Blocks\CROSS
0,0
1
1
0
;
;

Try it and see if this does the trick.

You might want to change all the "\" char's to "/" instead.

If you want to redefine a known particular block in a bunch of drawings,
EarlM's approach could be good. If you want to be able to redefine any
block in any drawing, here's my macro-command/lisp variety that prompts for
a drawing name:

[RedefIns]*^C^C^P(setq rgnmd (getvar "REGENMODE")) +
(setq redef (getstring "NAME OF INSERTED DWG TO REDEFINE: ")) \+
REGENAUTO OFF -INSERT (strcat redef "=") ^C^P+
SETVAR REGENMODE !rgnmd

It requires the drawing in question to be on the search path or in the same
folder as the drawing you're in. It's built to repeat for as many as you
want, so it turns off Regenmode in the meantime, and you Regen after you've
redefined all you need to.

I don't know whether you could do it this way (with filename prompt) in a
Script.
