No disrespect to others but its seems the couple of answers above are totally complicating the isssue, just use excell to create the lines of a script file you just need to add columns and the correct commands pretty easy in excell to copy to multiple cells. Just export it out as plain txt but save as a SCR file and run script.

 

A B C D E F G H

layer N layer1 C layer1 1 LT DASH

layer N layer2 C layer2 2 LT DASHED

layer N layer3 C layer3 3 LT Continuous

Not taken at all. Interesting way using Excel to make a script. What happens if the linetype isn't in the drawing or the acad.lin/acadiso.lin (resides in custom .lin)?
