AutoLisp to use "Find & replace"?

[tmad101185]

Just wondering if anyone that's experienced with using AutoLisp would think it would be possible to make an autolisp command that would open the "Find & replace" tool and automatically find & replace words based on a master list that has been created.

I'd like to try learning to do my own autolisps and think it would be a great tool to be able to setup a master list of words that, if found with the find and replace command get replaced with the correct abbreviated versions of those words so that all pages/callouts on our sheets are kept consistent with how they are called out.

Would this be possible? Thanks

I've done a code to that before eons ago. it would hep if you'll post a partial list of your master list format.
Are the entities just TEXT/MTEXT? or some are inside a block (attribute/text)?

Maybe we can write a routine that doesnt need to fire up "FIND" command
