Any alternative for srxtext.vlx ?

I found this .vlx but does not work, at least for me, I think this because of the need to pay. So I need an alternative.

Does not the 'Find' command meet your needs?

Find and Replace Dialog Box (FIND)

About Finding and Replacing Text

or you can have a look at these routines

Regular expressions

Wild Cards used for the command FIND is very limited. I need a REGEX alternative like srxtext.vlx.

Before leave an answer to your linked post I will need test those lisp routines.

For now I can just say thank for your help.

jtm2020hyo · ‎01-01-2019

I was testing the regex lisp and that work but does not what I need. (maybe I need a small guide)

I need to FIND/REPLACE option.

Is there any other regex routine to test?

or maybe do you know a complete guide for "srxtext.vlx"

I think this might help you better understand regular expressions.
Have a great year and good studies.

Most of the srxText functionality is free - what does not work for you?

See number of examples: https://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/tips.asp?t=srxText

hanks for your help friend.

Yes I was studing SRSTXT.vlx a time ago.

I remember that srxtexthave 2 kinds of regex. one basic for srxtext and another more complex and complet for srxtext2. I can with the single srxtext, but I need to work with the srxtext2 command.

i found some guides for srxtext2, according to some post srxtext2 use VBscript regex, then I was searching for a guide for VBscript and I tested some examples for srxtext2, but does not works. I tried some examples from their own website and sometimes work and other does not.

so I request a guide for "srxtext2" command. "srxtext" work perfectly.

If you would send a specific case of what doesn't work for you, I can help you. So far, all type of text replacements were successfuly done with the srxText utility.

hello. sorry for late response.

I was testing again the command srxtext2. but I'm using a different guide.

https://wellsr.com/vba/2018/excel/vba-regex-regular-expressions-guide/

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expression-language-quick-refere...

Until now. all work well. but If I find a problem I will report it in this post.

I will keep testing your awesome code. thanks for pay attention.

could add support for rename Model or paper space views, and cameras?

vladimir_michl · ‎12-13-2020

srxText is just for drawing texts, we have a similar tool - RRename - for renaming of DWG symbols and tables (Layers, Layouts, Blocks, etc.) - Views and Cameras are not included but I will look at it

Vladimir Michl, www.cadstudio.cz - www.cadforum.cz

vladimir_michl · ‎12-13-2020

Views (incl. cameras), materials, groups, UCSs, styles and other tables have been now added to the RRename freeware utility - see:

wow, so fast, thanks a lot.

I am not sure, maybe I did something bad, but I can not rename cameras and viewports:

Sorry, there was a debug message forgotten in the code (please re-download the updated version from cadstudio.cz or cadforum.cz). I have tested the view/camera rename on your DWG and it seems to work fine - performed change from "16500" to "xxxx".

vladimir_michl · ‎12-14-2020

I can see two problems:

- enter the search/replace strings without quotes - i.e.: test1, not 'test1'

- the "test1" is probably a View, not a Viewport (looking into your sample DWG)

but how can I use rrename.vlx with cameras? cameras are not views? if not, could add support for views?
