Editing text in a block

Hi lisp legends.

When inserting a block with text, you need to go through "block editor" to edit it and if it has attributes, you can use attedit. Is there a way to simplify editing the text in an inserted block? like editing MTEXT or TEXT that you only need to double click it? Thanks a lot legends.

Very quick and dirty solution:

(defun C:test ( / newtext elist)
(setq newtext (getstring "New block text: "))
(setq elist (entget (car (nentsel))))
(setq elist (subst (cons 1 newtext) (assoc 1 elist) elist))
(entmod elist)
(command "_RegenAll")
)

Thanks Aftertouch, it actually works like magic. But the thing is sometimes I am dealing with numbers (with decimal) and only digit will be replaced, that is why I was thinking it would be more convenient if there is a way to just double click it and edit. With your lisp routine, I need to retype all the digits in a number.

example: change 103.23 to 103.22, if it can be double click, I can just simply delete 3, and replaced it with 2. With this routine, I need to retype all 103.22.

Need some insights master

To simplify this thread the main concern is, instead of using attedit, does it have a way through lisp to edit the value by just double clicking it?

maybe seems like converting the block into an editable mtext/text.

Thanks

My Batch Find/Replace Text should work with nested annotation.

CNTRL+DoubleClick will bypass the the attribute editor.

OMG Master ronjonp that was awesome. No more lisp needed. What a legend. Thank you very much.

Master Lee Mac, thank you. And I wanna say Thank you again because I learned a lot from your website

Glad to help

Ronjonp beat me to it Cntrl + pick, if you need to say change a certain text that is the same in multiple blocks just pick them and use FIND selection.

Thanks Master BIGAL. But man, Ronjonp really nailed it. hahaha

Thank you again guys
