Hi, Actually , I'm using ssget with filter list for extend data as : (Setq SS (SSGet "_X" '( (-3 "MYNAME") ) ) ) Now I want to filter for extend data , but the data name must be a parametrable string. I found the syntax : ; Chn is a string with the value "MYNEWNAME" at a time and "MYONDN" at another time (Setq SS (SSGet "_X" (List (List -3 (Read (Strcat "(\"" Chn "\")") ) ) ) ) ) This work fine , but is everyone knowing a simpler syntax ?

: Cesi2d, Today is your lucky day! Aparently you registered an application (group code -3). And you want to fetch these entities with the registered application tags... The following is the example I use to fetch the entity that represents the current date: (setq s (ssget "x" '( (-3 ("JPW_DATE"))) )) I registered this application as follows: (if (not (tblsearch "appid" "JPW_DATE")) (regapp "JPW_DATE") );if (entmod (append (entget (car d)) '( (-3 ("JPW_DATE" (1000 . "JPW98")))) )) I tried sooooo hard to shorten this but to no avail. You do not have enough parenthesis in your statement. Good Luck ! Scot-65
