Select all specific texts in a drawing.

You can use severel methods to select all texts of a specific type (value) in a drawing. Let us have a drawing containing three separate text objects (Dtext/Mtext): Adam,Bravo,Charlie. Our goal is to select the text entities Adam and Bravo.

The simplest way is to use the FILTER command. In the filter type choose Text, value and in the X field enter [AB]* (see wildcard characters in Help). Click the "Add to list" button and use the filter.

Another option is to use a filter in the AutoLISP selection function - (ssget). For the requested type of selection, this function would read:

(ssget "_X" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(1 . "A*,B*")))

You can enter this LISP expression directly on the "Select objects" prompt.
