AC 2004 LT, export all text to a text file

Hi, I am using acad 2004 LT and wish to be able to run a script that
grabs all the free text on the screen and exports it to a text file,
be it .csv or tab deliminated. I know how to program VB and C++, but
this is beyond me at the moment.

I don't need to look into blocks and all that, I just need the text
freely available on the screen.

Can one of you kind lads post some script code please.

Thanks
Stu

 

I think you're going to need a lisp for that, Stu. Scripts just run
commands, and there's no combination of commands I can think of that will do
what you want.

A laborious, but low tech solution might be to DXFout the drawing and then
use a word processor to cull all the junk. The beginning of each text
object's data will begin with

0
TEXT

The value of the text object will follow the value "1" a few lines later...

A simple lisp would handle this but won't run on vanilla LT.

 

OK, thanks for that, I thoughthat script might have been a new word
for LISP.

Thanks
Stu
