AutoCAD 2002 drawing text to Excel 2000 spread sheet?

Anyone know of a way to import AutoCAD text into Excel? I've tried
some of the autolisp files available on the net (example textout.lsp)
but can't get them to create the text file. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks

HiHO;
Express Tools has a program called "rtex" or Remote Text
that works with a external text file and can be edit'd with
any text editor of choice. Excel reads text files so that
should work.

 

ToolPac 7.0 from http://www.dotsoft.com contains several Text Export
routines. Export text in the order selected or simply window off the
text and choose the 'topdown' option. The most elaborate routine allows
you to simply window off a table of text in the drawing, BOM's for
example. It determines the number and order of the rows/columns of text
objects automatically and exports the information to a comma delimited
file that can be opened up directly in Excel.

I have used this program quite a bit - it has a fully functioning demo that
works for 30 days. It works directly with AutoCAD and links to an Exce;
file and can go back and forth. It is pretty simple to use.
