AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Replacing Characters In A Text File
Sep 13, 2012
Replacing characters in a text file.
I solved the following Lisp routine chore. I have this csv file of coordinates (and many more) that comes from a total station:1,100,100,10,50
2,100,200,12,50
3,200,200,12,50
4,200,100,10,51
and should replace the code after the last comma like this:1,100,100,10,.50
2,100,200,12,.50
3,200,200,12,.50
4,200,100,10,..50
To be able to generate the topographic map. And I have this code but does not work properly:
(defun c:cod (/ filename fileopenr readline)
(if (setq filename (getfiled "!!! SELECT *.csv FILE COORDINATE:... ¡¡¡" "c:/" "csv" 0 ))
(progn (setq fileopenr (open filename "w"))
(while (setq readline (read-line fileopenr))
[[code].......

Is there a way to find and/or replace "very" special characters like [carriage return], [backspace] or even [tab mark], considering that the first thing that comes to mind when saying special characters is the standard and extended ASCII only.

I can't write unicode characters to a text file.
as you know, you can write chars on text screen easily: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122"))
but if you want to write chars to a text file, this command does not work: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122") TxtFileVar)
Here is a part of my code to test:
(defun C:HexGen ( / d f S w x y z h c)(setq d '("0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F") f (open "c:\0000-FFFF.txt" "w"))(foreach w d (foreach x d (foreach y d (progn (setq S "") (foreach z d (progn (setq h (strcat w x y z)) (setq c (strcat "\U+" h));;;<===character (setq S (strcat S " " (strcat h " = " c ))) ) ) (write-line S f) ) ) )) (close f)(startapp "notepad" "c:\0000-FFFF.txt"))

Consider the following
(if (ssget "_X" '((0 . "ACAD_TABLE")(1 . "PIPE LIST")))(progn (vlax-for a (setq ss (vla-get-ActiveSelectionSet (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))) (repeat (setq r (vla-get-rows a))(setq r (1- r) c -1)(repeat (vla-get-columns a)
(if (eq "*PL*" (vlax-invoke a 'GetText r (setq c (1+ c)))) (vlax-invoke a 'SetText r c "THREAD ONE END"))))) (vla-delete ss)));progn);if
Basically, it replaces this text inside a table:
1 1/2" NPTM - A53 - 3000LB - A-53 - 3000 LB
with:
thread both ends.
But I'm limited to the size of pipe, it's material and its pressure rating. I can't change how the text in the field is populated. It would be nice if, it did a search for NPTM, and when that string exists in the string, change it to "thread both ends".
Essentially right now, I have 46 lines (and growing) of different scenarios. I just want the NPTM to trigger the string change.

I have some legacy custom .DCL files that we want to convert the user interfaces (text boxes, labels, etc) to Chinese characters. Is that even possible in .DCL?
I have gotten our NET and VBA apps converted but not having much luck with the DCL files.

we use AutoCAD 2013 english version also in China.
Have a look to t below process
(setq app (vlax-get-acad-object))
(setq actdoc (vla-get-activedocument app))
(setq actlay (vla-get-activelayout actdoc))
(setq laynam (vlax-get-property actlay 'name))
On a Chinese computer with Windows XP, the layout name via ActiveX is displayed correctly "A3 -布局-02" on the variable laynam.
But under Windows 7 64 Bit I get this "A3 -??-02". So all ActiveX objects with AutoLisp commands do not transfer the Chinese Unicode characters, also on a system in china.
But the pure lisp command (layoutlist) for example returns always the correct characters ("A3 -布局-02")
Do I need any Chinese dll’s for ActiveX dependent language? On my test PC I installed the file autocad_2013_traditional_chinese_language_pack_win_64bit in the hope I get shared files for ActiveX but this did not bring success.

Lisp Routine that could replace a line at a specified maximum length with a block at the lines midpoint.
I would love to be able to replace all lines I select which are say less than 0.5m in length with a block at the lines.

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'm trying to write a simple Custom Command that sets any layer that matches "$-*" to a specific color. But as soon as AutoCAD sees the $, it thinks I'm trying to do a DIESEL expression. Supposedly, the quote marks specify that the enclosed characters should be treated as plain text, but that doesn't happen.Here's what I've got:
^C^C-LAYER;C;252;"$-*";;
And this is what I get:
Command: -LAYERCurrent layer: "$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT"Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: CNew color [Truecolor/COlorbook] : 252Enter name list of layer(s) for color 252 <$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT>: "No matching layer names found.Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]:
It stops, hanging at the incompleted -LAYER command prompt.

When i export revit drawing with revit family
the revit family become block in autocad like this
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm-278353-Ground Level _0_45
usually i want to remove the ID and view name to become like this without have to re type because it is tedious
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm
something like how many letters you want to remove from last to first ?
or something better like remove this last two dash and the letters embedded inside ( that separate name-ID-View name) -278353-Ground Level _0_45?

I want to create a table with all characters inside a font.I used "%%" to change a number to it's character.but "%%" limited to 999 and for numbers bigger than 999 it doesn't work.
also, CHR command limited to 255 and for numbers bigger than 255 it change to (number-255). so I used "%%" to create this table:[Please change default font in your AutoCAD to ARIAL]
(Defun c:charmap ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq cnt 1.0)
(setq r_cnt 0.0)
(setq ts 32)
(setq x 0.0)
(setq y 0.0)
[code]...
I want to know:
1- what can I do for numbers more than 999?
2- How can I know the number of characters inside a font?
3-how can improve my LISP program to have complete characters inside the fonts?

assign a character where ? is shown so that it matches with the number of characters to remove based on the 3 lines above (see wcmatch lines). At present, whatever number I replace that ?? with, it removes that number of characters from the layer that I selected (if it meets that WCMATCH criteria). Another option which may be more difficult is to be able to have the routine look at the object layer and if it contains -N- or -D- or -NEW- or -DEMO- then to remove all the characters that follow these layer modifiers. This way I can cleanly add another project modifier behind these modifers.

I have the following code which isnt quite working, it reads a text file which has a list of Names of images and their bottom left coordinates i.e. name x y etc. I want it to check for a name equal to that input then in this case alert the user it is found, eventually I want it to load the tile but for the moment where am I going wrong, also the lisp wont close the file and I dont know why.
(defun c:imi ()
(setq IM (getstring "
Input name of 2010 tile"))
(while (not (= "" IM))
(setq TILE (strcat "BM" IM))

I want to write content of variables to a text file but I should have conversion function for variables.
for example
(setq a 123); a is an integer type, contetnt of a is 123
so I should use (itoa a) to get "123" as a string and then I can write it to text file.
but what about another type of variables?
(defun ToString ( a / result)(setq result "")(cond((= (type a) 'ENAME) (progn (setq result "Entity names")))((= (type a) 'EXRXSUBR) (progn (setq result "External ObjectARX applications")))((= (type a) 'FILE) (progn (setq result "File descriptors")))((= (type a) 'INT) (progn (setq result (itoa

I'm looking for a way to find out what all plot styles are set in drawings in a sheet set.
We are transitioning from color based pen settings to style based and would like to be able to export a log that shows the variable PSTYLEMODE for each drawing in a sheet set. I plan on using ScriptPro to run it on the full sheet set.

Run TIME command and then take the resulting text and save it to a file.
Ideally, the text file should be named based on the drawing name. I know there's ways to write text to a file but I haven't had any luck taking the output of a command and exporting it.

I got a new work and get it done in the next 2 days, but first I need to do this... from a text file (or excel file, I got both) I got 3 columns, 1 one for node number, and 2 other for X and Y coordinates for each node.
So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..

I want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .
(Defun GetStrWidth (str H W) (fix (*(* H W) (strlen str))));;usage: (GetStrWidth "This is a Text." 2.5 0.8);;H: TextHeight; W: width factor.
I know that for the existed text in drawing I can use textbox command, but for the texts that has not been created, what can I do? Is there any formula/calculation depends on font name, text height and width factor?
