lisp to find and replace

i have .txt file

i want the lisp

find "autocad"

replace with "\n autocad"

If is about an ASCII file, wouldn't be simpler to just edit it in Notepad? You have there a built-in Find-And-Replace feature.

take txt as input and replace give it in other txt file

 

my text file is about 600 MB

 

in lisp it take less time

Then you should look to VL-STRING-TRANSLATE function.

(vl-string-translate "a" "b" "aqawaearatayaua")

But I’m not sure if AutoLISP interpreter will handle such huge amount of data...

where is the input like "\\geodb\f\1.txt"

where to save it "\\geodb\f\2.txt"

 

it should take my txt file

I’m not sure that understand. What had that code to do with the original discussion on find and replace issue?

Also, please edit your post to follow the rules to post code.

I thought you were trying to find and replace text?

 

Your last post looks more like you want to plot a drawing. Are you going to be batch processing a folder full of drawings? If the answer is "yes" then you might want to look into using a script.

there is lisp it take my .txt file data and generate longitudinal section like that

 

in the same way it take my txt file find the word "autocad" before "autocad" add newline autocad start in new para

Now we've switched topics again to a lisp that generates a longitudinal sections.

only command it not take my txt file,

i want my txt file to take take replace it in other txt file (i was explaining that)

OK MSasu, you got all that?

Seems that the post with plot code excerpt was meantime edited.

I maintain my opinion that such processing will crash AutoCAD or even the workstation. If you are willing to develop the said function, then I suggest you to do the conversion on-the-fly; that it, open both source and destination files at the same time and read from one, replace strings and write to the second one.

 

Before writing a dedicated function for this task, may be useful to check the NotePad++ editor. It took ~3 minutes to replace "a" with "b" in a 25Mb text file.

in lisp only the command is there for new line like '\n' for tab like '\t'

in notepad we have no option to new line

new line means replace with what?

 

 

are there any lisp- like this-(that it, open both source and destination files at the same time and read from one, replace "new line" and write to the second one.)

Microsoft word

If you still cant do that, then we'll write a code. you cool with that?

i have no downloading option, or instalation

You were able to go online and post a question here oos. Thats unfortunate ,Are you telling us if we attached a file here (say a lisp file), you wont be able to download the file?

lisp in txt.file (like .lsp extention) you supply past i run here

lisp in txt.file (like .lsp extention) you supply past i run here
