Batch find and replace with wildcards

[Anonymous]

I have projects that repeat the same steps every time I start up. A lot of these steps are find and replace based and can  contain wildcards. I'm having trouble finding the best solution whether it be a script to run find and replace that I can just press play on to run all the different steps I want or if a lisp routine would be best. 

Please let me know what the best options available are. 

Note: I did try Bfind and it would have worked great if it supported wildcards.

(defun C:TRC ; = Text Replace for Complete text/mtext strings, pre-defined content
  (/ tss tdata)
  (setq tss (ssget "X" (list (cons 1 "issued for tender"))))
  (repeat (sslength tss)
    (setq
      tdata (entget (ssname tss 0))
      tdata (subst (cons 1 "issued for construction") (assoc 1 tdata) tdata)
    ); end setq
    (entmod tdata)
    (ssdel (ssname tss 0) tss)
  ); end repeat
); end defun

 I have also found this lisp for a predefined find replace. Can someone show me how to add more find replaces to it?

an example of a wild card I'm having trouble with would be Find "###A!###A"  and replace with "!###A"

where number signs are wildcard numbers.

So you have variable text on each project/sheet?

This is exactly what Sheet Set Manager can solve.

I'm not sure that will help me I'm mostly looking for a script for find and replaces that can support wildcards.

Can you give me an example of how I would use this to accomplish the following wild card task?

Find "###A!###A" and replace with "!###A" where number signs are wildcard numbers.

is the replacement an entirely different value or a truncated version of the the target string ?

for example: 

"I'm the the bowery king, 152A!657A of New York" to   

"I'm the the bowery king, !657A of New York" 

or

 "I'm the the bowery king, !234A of New York" <-- entirely different string specified by user prompt?
