\ in macro

[Lt Dan's legs]

I'm trying to find out how to use \ not as a pause but in one of my macros... Any ideas?

 

example

c:\

You can't. You have to use a forwardslash instead of a backslash when specifying paths in macros.

Thank you for the response.

 

What I really wanted to do was have " in my macro.

Example

^C^C(make_note "1/8\" DIAMOND PLATE");

 

I made a few lisp programs so my co-workers could make their own macro's.

I came up with a work around. Use _ instead of "

 

^C^C(make_note "1/8_ DIAMOND PLATE");

and the lisp program would replace all _ in the string with " before running the program

I you have full autocad not Lt then using lisp you can strcat a character and words together you can replace basicly any character with (CHR x) where x is character number. (chr 65) = A (chr 66) = B dont have x for \ 32 is

 

something like (setq name (strcat "1/8" (chr 34) " diamond plate")) = 1/8" diamond plate.

 

(setq x 32)

(repeat 100

(princ (chr x))

(setq x (+ x 1))

)

 

^C^C(make_note name);
