Changing specific attribute value in entire project

Is there a way, a script file or something, that changes the a specific attribute value in an entire project. Actually I want to change an attribute value in the title block of my project. I have 50 drawings in this project and that attribute is a revision date. So, can I change that date in the title block for all drawings in one shot?

Thank you
Mohammad

AutoCAD Electrical has a "Title Block Update" command but you have to make
sure that you have "mapped" your title block's attributes to the AutoCAD
Electrical's "Descriptions" dialog. If you want to see a working example of
this, select the "wddemo" project that ships with the product and make it
the "active" project. Then select "Project" >> "Descriptions" and enter
today's date. Then select "Title Block Update" and toggle on the "Date"
entry in the upper part of the dialog. Process your project set. All of the
title blocks should update with this new value.

The key is mapping your title block's attributes to AcadE's "Description"
entries. The on-line help should give you guidance on doing this.

I can update it now :). Thank you very much.
May I ask you how do I change the project description lines from ( LINE1, LINE2, ...) to (Title, Date, ...) just like the demo project?

"Search" in the on-line AutoCAD Electrical help under ".wdL". Look for topic
"Customize LINEx labels".
