AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Remove Portion Of A String?
Feb 22, 2012
I am trying to make this: L:Engineering-208037SURVEYDRAWINGS turn into this: L:Engineering-208037DRAWINGS
I am using the dwgprefix and it returns the first string and i want to make it in the second string as a new variable or replace the old variable so i can use it in a save as routine i am working on.
The problem is sometimes them project number (0208037) will be longer or shorter so i can't use the substr command

i failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.

I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?

Here's one that I could use on that i can't figure out:
I have a list of a bunch of descriptions that looks like this:
("00.02.00" "CTD01 Mainframe PT1 (top)" "GD01")
What I am doing is grabbing the middle item and i need to break this up into 2 lines. So, my code below grabs the first 3 "words" in the second item in the list and puts them in a list, but I need to convert this back to a string.
(setq desc6a (list (car (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))(cadr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" ))) (caddr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))))
I tried a bunch of ways but can't get it

I've been working on a lisp to set up basic settings such as text styles, dim styles, discipline specific layers and things of that nature.
I have a prompt to ask for a discipline designator as a string. I want to have an If statement or a conditional to read that string and check for a "C" if it finds it I want to have it set up a dimstyle to decimal feet ect and if not do it as architectural units.
This is just a test lisp that I'd like to add to the main one listed above...
(defun c:test(/ disc dsnm dsna)
(setq disc (getstring "
Discipline (G,C,S,M,E,CP): ")) ;Prompt for Discipline
(setq ds (getint "
Dimscale Factor: ")) ;Prompt for Dimscale
[code].......

I would like to use a string as a variable if this is possible. I've got:
new-pl-lay (as a variable that holds layer name "UGL_PL_NEW")
first-cable (as a string that holds "new-pl-lay")
I'd like set the current layer to "UGL_PL_NEW" by using the first-cable string.
Something like:
(command "_.layer" "m" (read first-cable) "")

I'm working on a LISP function that adds a predetermined string to each layername in the dwg.
I came up with this:
(SETQ prefix "A-_82-_")
(TBLNEXT "LAYER" T)
(WHILE (SETQ la (TBLNEXT "LAYER"))
(SETQ old (ASSOC 2 la)
new (CONS 2 (STRCAT prefix (CDR old)))
[Code] .....
The line (princ "
la is: ")(princ la) (princ "
") is thrown in to enable me to see the result of the while function, and is to be removed from the final version.
Now, everything seems to work fine, as the princ shows on the acad textstcreen.
Yet, when I check the layer palette, all layernames remain unchanged.
My guess is that I should use some other function then ENTMOD or ENTUPD to change the layertable, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to which function is required.

In order to avoid duplicate text string in different places in the same drawing, I would like to have such a tool to find duplicate text string.
For instance, I want to put numbering of some connection lines, I do not want to have different lines but have same number by mistype.

I have a TitleBlock than contains more than 50 attributes inside itself.
I want to prepare a lisp code to GetTagString when I clicking on one attribute inside a BLOCK.
I prepare a code to get Block name when I ckick on a block:
(defun GetBlockName ( / obj)(defun sel_Obj( / sel)(While (=(setq sel (car (entsel "
choose a "BLOCK": ")))nil)(prompt "You didn't select any object!"))sel)(While (not (eq (vla-get-ObjectName (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (sel_Obj)))) "AcDbBlockReference"))(prompt "That was not a "BLOCK"!"));;while (vlax-get-property obj (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'EffectiveName) 'EffectiveName 'Name)) ) ;;usage: ;;(GetBlockName) ;;RESULT: ;;
just Selected Block Name Something like this but just for TagString of attribute is my desired!

I am using a variable that is being called up from a .csv file for a file name. By default this variable automatically includes a comma due to it being called from a .csv.
How to remove a character ( , ) from a variable? I'm not sure if this is along the right line or not, but i used the READ function to read the variable as a string (i think thats how it works?).

I write a code to replace strings in one string.for example
str="AutoDesk, AutoCAD, 2013, Electrical, 64Bit"
patt=", "
NewStr=" - "
==> result: "AutoDesk - AutoCAD - 2013 - Electrical - 64Bit"
;;replaces NewStr instead of Patt(s) in Str string(defun ReplaceStr (NewStr Patt Str)(While (> (vl-string-search ptt str) 0)(setq Str (vl-string-subst NewStr patt Str)) );;whilestr) ; usage;(ReplaceStr " - " ", " "AutoDesk, AutoCAD, 2013, Electrical, 64Bit")
==> result= ; error: bad argument type: (or stringp symbolp): nil

I need a lisp routine that will add or subtract to modify a value in a text string. Its used for drainage fixture units on waste & vent plans. Example: We use basic dtext strings that look like this [color=red]4"(6)[/color]I would like to be able to add or subtract to the number that is [b][size=12pt]ONLY[/size][/b] in parenthesis and would like to be able to pick multiple text strings at one time so it would result in something like this: [color=green]4"(6)[/color] + 9 will become [color=blue]4"(15)[/color].

I have spent the last three days writing a lisp program that will copy a text string from one text file and paste it into another. I have tried using the write-string, getstring, prin1, princ and print functions with no success.

There is a lisp function to replace all occurrences of a character within a string?
In short, as the Replace command in Visual Basic
For example, to replace all "x" to "*":
"34x59+60x3" -> "34*59+60*3

Is there any way to isolate an item in a list for a filter? I'm setting a filter for SSGET and know that I can use the dotted pairs and I know I can use logical comparisions but what I really want to do is filter a single varialbe in the DXF group 10. For example, I'd like to only get entities with a specific Z value in DXF 10. Or even better to filter for a specified range of Y value or X value in DXF 10. If I could write something like (cons 10 (list * * 8.0)) where the asterisks were wild cards, that would do it but I'm not aware of such a wildcard. Is there any way to isolate a portion of DXF 10 in the filter?

I have this interresting problem, it occured just here, in other situations, the script works fine.
I am counting length from coordinates:
Command: (setq bod1 ppo_bod1)(-0.821965 -1.7232 0.0)Command: (setq bod2 ppo_bod2)(25.428 13.1268 0.0)Command: !mfac0.025Command: (setq x (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (car bod2) (car bod1))) mfac))))1050Command: (setq y (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))))593Command: (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))14.85Command: (/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)594.0Command: (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))"593.99999998"Command: (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)))593
As you can see, the conversion from 594.0 (real) to string causes an inaccuracy, which is strange, because the length really is 594.0

Is there a way to apply a single string value "Phase1", or "Phase2" to all layers in a drawing? I though about exporting a Layer State, modifying it in Excel, then re-importing the layer state, but, Layer States don't store a value for "Description."
I'm creating a consolidated map from several drawings, but I'd like to be able to separate the layers from each drawing. Description seems like a good value to populate and be able to sort by in the Layer Manager.

Ultimately I want to delete a bunch of Layers by selecting them using a portion of their name. Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name?
Based on AutoCAD Layer Standards: Users label layers with a code; for example: A-ANNO-TEXT
A - Stands for the Architectural Category the layer falls into
ANNO - Stands for Annotation
TEXT - Type of Annotation
I want to use the Layer Delete (-LAYDEL) command to delete all layers that begin with A-ANNO. In the Layer Manager (-LAYER) I am able to select specific layers using a " * " placed before and/or after " A-ANNO " to include all layers with that in its name.
When I write a script however (-LAYDEL); cad will ask me for the layer name, but will not allow me to use the *A-ANNO* to include all layers with that name: A-ANNO-TEXT, A-ANNO-GLAZ, A-ANNO-WALL, etc...
Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name??? I have to "taylor" drawings that I receive from companies who's layers may vary.
My script is in basic (NON LISP) language:
-LAYDEL
N
A-GENM
N
A-DOOR
N
A-DOOR-FRAM
N
A-DOOR-GLAZ
N
Y

Someday the light bulb is going off and I will understand mapcar and lambda. However.....I have a program that reads an excel file sheets. Sometimes the sheet only has 1 column, sometimes 2 or more.
I need to convert the saved values from the sheet to a list with the text spaced evenly. Unfortunately the text lengths vary. I would like a subroutine to pass the list to and return a list of strings with text aligned with padded spaces allowing for the longest text in each column. I am using the new list in a dialog box with fixed_width_font=true (so columns align).
Example 1-
(setq List1 (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4"))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1"
"Col1-Line2"
"Col1-Line3-longer"
"Col1-Line4"
so no padding needed
Example 2 -
(setq List2 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4")))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2 Col2-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 "
Example 3 -
(setq List3 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2-longer" "Col1-Line3" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4") (list "Col3-Line1-longer" "Col3-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col3-Line4")))
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer Col3-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2-longer Col2-Line2 Col3-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 Col1-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 Col3-Line4 "

Main question: I need the user to be able to type a command. Then use it or cancel it. Then i need them to type another lisp command. In the second command i need to know (have the string of) the previous command they typed in. How do i get that string?
What I have tried.
I have looked at "LASTPROMPT" though not extensively, and i believe it would just return "ineedhelp" if i tried that.
I have looked at "CMDNAMES" but that gives the command you're currently in.
And I have found one page on this forum titled: Command Line History Macro, but there was no answer on that post.
I could create a global variable for that string, but then I would have to put the set code in every function I create. Nope, will not.
Backstory:
There's a person that is going to make how-to videos on how to use some of my lisp routines.
Anyhow, I need the user to be able to type in "ineedhelp" and the lisp that runs must get the last command's string go to the shared drive and pull up the video file for that command.
I have made a lisp that opened a word file before, and if i could get the string of the previous command, i'm fairly certain that I can get the videos to work.
There will be approximately 60 lisp routine video's.

how I could open an external .CSV file which is assigned to a variable called INFOFILE and scan line by line and replace each instance of the string "WIDGETTE" with the string "WIDGET"? I assume the function vl-string-subst woud be involved.

I have a routine that looks for an MText date stamp and replace the old date with a new date. The problem is some MText strings appear encrypted. Below is an example:
{\H1.121x;\C1; \LFY 2011-12\l \H0.6252x;04-30-11} This is what I should get when I extract the string (as shown in Property window)
(1 . "\pxi-2.1818,l4.3636,ql,t4.3636;{\fSymbol|b1|i0|c2") is what I get when I extract the group code.
I'm running AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.
