ATTEXT Gone Awry

[rustysilo]

I'm extracting attribute info to create a tree mitigation table and there is an attribute for tree size which for some reason on 4 of my trees is pulling the info from another attribute for some reason. Here is the output of a portion of the file:

 1454.42,'22.04 LT','OAK',22.0,'INSIDE', 8.00
 1440.61,'20.78 LT','OAK',10.0,'INSIDE', 9.22
 1430.24,'22.67 LT','UNK',12.0,'INSIDE', 7.33
 1377.69,'24.45 LT','PINE',17.0,'INSIDE', 5.54
 1368.81,'22.35 LT','CAMPHOR', 6.0,'INSIDE', 7.64
 1680.31,'18.93 RT','MYRTLE',1680,'INSIDE', 11.07
 1495.83,'23.90 RT','PINE',24.0,'INSIDE', 6.10
 1476.25,'18.99 RT','MYRTLE',1476,'INSIDE', 11.01
 1461.54,'19.74 RT','MYRTLE',1461,'INSIDE', 10.26
 1449.16,'19.16 RT','MYRTLE',1449,'INSIDE', 10.84

Note that the numbers in red are supposed to be the tree size and it is rather putting the station (1st column) value there. The attributes are properly filled in. Something is going bad when I extract the data only on these lines.

Duh nevermind. I figured it out. There is no size value as the surveyor didn't give the size so I put n/a in the attribute... Sorry bout that.

Rusty,

How did you get that far. Been trying over the weekend to get a single field out using ATTEXT.

Do you have a sample of your template?
Haven been trying the things from ACAD Help without luck. Searching forums looking for an answer. You seem to have at least gotten it to work. Using 2010 LT. running out of hair. Starting to look like that smily face :-(
