How to select attributes contain specific Text

 Here is a complete, ready-to-use AutoLISP routine that searches your drawing for block attributes containing specific text string patterns.

Because attributes live inside block inserts, this code selects the parent block entities so you can instantly move, copy, erase, or isolate them in AutoCAD.
How to Use It
  1. Open AutoCAD.
  2. Type APPLOAD in the command line and hit Enter.
  3. Locate your saved SelAttribText.lsp file, click Load, and close the window.
  4. Type SELATTRIBTEXT in the command line to start the command.
  5. Enter the text string you want to hunt down
No-Code Alternative
If you prefer not to use a LISP routine, you can use the built-in AutoCAD FIND command
  1. Type FIND in the command line.
  2. Enter your text string in the Find what field.
  3. Click the List results checkbox and hit Find.
  4. Highlight all the items in the generated list using Shift, then click the Create Selection Set icon on the right side of the window
