Use Find to replace symbols like %%131?

I think %%131 in romansx is a centerline symbol, and I want to replace it with say "CL".

I can do it with lisp, but can the FIND command do it?

thanks

I am using srxText for this type of replacements. There is a similar thread here - https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2010-2011-2012/find-and-replace-autocad-code-u-in-text/td-p/2816660

Hi @JamesMaeding,

Find/Replace won't return any hits on this type of character. This is a legacy method to enter the special characters. I suggest that using a LISP routine is still the best way to do this.
