How to replace only a single occurrence of a substring in a drawing text?

You can use the srxText LISP utility and regular expressions to replace only the first occurrence of a substring - e.g.:

search: \(.\)oldtext\(.\)
replace: \1newtext\2

will change

myoldtext1andoldtext2 -> mynewtext1andodltext2

For srxText see www.cadstudio.cz/developuk
