    Changing Text in Multiple Drawings

    I am trying to change text in hundreds of drawings. What I have is a line of text say "the brown fox" and I need to change it to "the black dog". I have probably 1500 drawings I need to do this in. I am not versed in scripts of lisp and was looking for some help. I know the ACAD commands to do this but could use some help in developing a script file to batch this. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please use plain text.
