AutoCAD - Adding unique text in multiply different text boxes all at once.

The task is already done but I'm wondering, is there a way to add the text (EXISTING) to all of those panels at one time.

The panel is a block but currently burst.

You can't copy or array (EXISTING) as a unique text box.

assuming those Boxes with Texts are Blocks with Attributes, then you'll just need a separate TEXT file for the lisp function to read off of with each line containing columns of information that fills out each box.

the rows of lines containing this data goes from box on left all the way to box on the right

Assume they are TEXTs. If they are MTEXTs, start from Step 2.

My solution:

Step 1. Convert they into MTEXTs with command TXT2MTXT.

Step 2. Change their alignment to TC with command TJUST.

Step 3. Add "(EXISTING)" after "30, 4W" with command FIND, replace "30, 4W" with "30, 4W (EXISTING)"
