Match Text string by selecting

[lapace]

Is there a lsp or other command that will allow you to change one line of text into another? Kind of like Match-properties except instead of layers, etc. you would change the whole thing.
Example:
On your drawing you have TYP 4 PL and TYP 6 PL in more than one location. Well 6 now needs to be 4. Is there a command that will allow me to pick TYP 4 PL and then by picking TYP 6 PL change it to TYP 4 PL?

so where it says typ 6 pl it needs to say typ 4 pl (or vice versa)? You can use the find command if that's what you're trying to do. If it's a style thing, you can use QSELECT, select mtext, and layer equals (or color or whatever you want it to use)... Once all of the text is gripped, you can go to the text style drop down toolbar, and change it all to one style.
