replacing stacked fractions with "regular" text

For MText, how can I globally replace those pseky stacked fractions?  For instance, I need to replace {H0.7x;\S3#8;} with 3/8 but Find won't do it.

Ozzy -  Does MText Find work on a large selected set of text?  Going through the find/replace one at a time is futile...

RE: replacing stacked fractions with "regular" text

Isn't there an unstack selection when you Mtext?  I am out of the country and I don't have my ACAD w/ me however I think you can unstack if you highlight the value and  right click on the highlighted value and keep it unstack ubtil you reverse your selection.

There are several options for fixing this one at a time but I'm trying to fix many drawings with lots of stacked fractions in MText in each.  I'll try StripMText from lpseifert and report back.  Thanks all!!!

But it's a german tool (mnu and *.vlx).

Install the programm, make a support path, load the mnu...
I can help with the translation.
