increase by one or two

[Anonymous]

lets say I have about 10 finish floor elevations, all different i.e.: FF =
54.5 (just text) and I needed to go back and raise the whole site by one
foot (add 1 to the text) i.e. FF = 55.5 is there a way to do that?

Dumb last minute changes before I posted it - I had renamed the variable
AsciiCode to AscCode, but not everywhere. As I merely penned it and never ran it
I didn't catch the dumb error. There may still be dumb errors because I still
haven't run it.

Dim AscCode as Integer
AscCode = Asc(TextObj.TextString)

Select Case AscCode
Case 97 to 121, 65 to 89
' a - y, A - Y
TextObj.TextString = Chr(AscCode + 1)
Case 122, 90
' z, Z
TextObj.TextString = Chr(AscCode - 25)
Case else
' not an alpha character, need to
' write code for this scenario
end select

Sorry, Still won't run. . Could you please add the prefixes and suffixes
(i.e. Sub...etc... and End Sub, etc... Loop, etc.. so all I have to do is
cut & paste and F11 & F8? I am not a VB guy but want to start learning.

Thanks so much! (If I can't get this one running I'll use Walter's. It
does work. I don't care how long the code is but I want to see the
difference between the 2 routines.).......................Pat

Here's Michael's updated code that works. Again, watch the line wrap:

Sub Add1Alpha()
Dim AscCode As Integer
Dim TextObj As AcadObject
Dim basePnt As Variant
Dim objSelected As Integer
objSelected = 1
Do While objSelected = 1
On Error GoTo exitsub
ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity TextObj, basePnt, "Select Text to Update>> "
If TextObj.ObjectName = "AcDbText" Or TextObj.ObjectName = "AcDbMText"
Then
AscCode = Asc(TextObj.TextString)
Select Case AscCode
Case 97 To 121, 65 To 89
' a - y, A - Y
TextObj.TextString = Chr(AscCode + 1)
Case 122, 90
' z, Z
TextObj.TextString = Chr(AscCode - 25)
Case Else
' not an alpha character, need to
' write code for this scenario
End Select
End If
Loop
exitsub:
End Sub
