how to use find command in lisp programming

You cannot use the FIND command in a LISP program, this command is not accessible using LISP; instead, you would need to accomplish your task using such functions as ssget (with an appropriate selection set filter list), wcmatch / vl-string-search / vl-string-position. All of these functions are documented in the Visual LISP IDE Help.

Re: FIND command in lisp routine. See Lee's reply in post #122.

Re: Excel file and DBCONNECT. Can you explain why you are using DBCONNECT rather than a DATALINK to bridge the connection between an AutoCAD drawing and an Excel spreadsheet?
