Excel automation

not sure if this should go here, but best i thought.

ive being doin excel/cad automation

but when trying to block and item it refuses to accept space as enter, and keeps giving me and error that the block name is invalid

-block GB110006_FS_plan 0,0 all

^ this is the command im being using to try and create the block, and dose any one kno, what the key is for enter,(not space nor "enter" but a eg %%U)

which does the same thing

in scripts and on buttons you can use semi-colon ;

does that work here?

i shall try it as soon as i get to work,

to easyly see my problem

type the commands above into excel(and click paste into command line), with and u shall see the problem, no only paste the the -block and the name, and it works,

but i will try thank you

Regards

after trying it i dose not fix my problem

i think the main thing is that u can have spaces in the block names, while excel uses space as the command for enter, so does any one kno another ways from useing the enter command, but not pressing enter eg ._enter

what is it you are actually trying to do? I am confused as to what you are using excel for.

why not construct it as a LISP?

(command "-block" "my block name" "0,0" "all" "")

yes, a lisp would be far more easyer in most causes, but due to being so many varitbles in my equations and alot of different senarios it is easyer to do it excel, (from what i understand if u belive other wise plz let me kno and i will show u the scope of the work)

but i had just created a block script

when i realised that goin down a line in excel it indicated an enter

thank you dave for u help
