Find and replace only with command line NO LISP

It is possible to find a text and replace ONLY with the command line or a script (.scr) ? No LISP or software

So, there is no solution for this goal inside of Autocad without any API (like lisp, .net) and without another program.

It is only available in some cases for attributes,

or via api

or outside AutoCAD

or with another program which can control the find dialog for you.

Sorry

Does that prohibition include "No FIND command"? That isn't either AutoLisp nor external software, but a regular AutoCAD command, and will find and replace text content of all kinds, including in Attributes. But it does involve a dialog box, if that means it doesn't qualify for you as "ONLY with the command line."

I can't use dialog box. I need to give all the command in the command line or in a script

"command line or in a script"

That statement sounds curious. If you had wrote "via Keys or in a script" - ok,

but why "command line or in a script"? Do you use another program to record your steps?

then the third part program pretty sure record your KEYBOARD-Input and you can control

dialogs with only-key input.

no no just because I use VBA code to write in the command line on AUTOCAD

If that was a joke, that was good!

And now start with real programming and do not spend more time for lazy cheap solutions.

For the next time maybe mention that one works by VBA,
because then maybe you would already have a (vba) solution.

You can do this directly in VBA.

Shoud you post a example of code?

If you post in the VBA Forum you might get help for free or contact me directly if you want to outsource the programming.
