Possible to select all elements of a layer?

Hi,

I need to select all elements of one layer and i don't know how to do
that...Let's say i have bunch of text (label) on one
layer(text_layer). Now i need to select all the elements of one layer
(text_layer). Is there any tool to do that or is there any way to
select all elements of one layer.

Your help will highly be appreciated.

Thanks

try this (you can't select blocks though, since it's actually on the
zero layer):
;begin
(defun C:SE ( / e lay ss)
(setq e (nentsel "Select entity on a layer: "))
(if e (setq ss (ssget "_X" (list(cons 8 (cdr (assoc 8 (entget (car
e)))))))))
(if (zerop (getvar"CMDACTIVE"))
(progn (sssetfirst ss ss)
(princ"Everything has been selected, now get back to work!! "))
)
ss
)
;end

cheers
