Macro script

[sinnerboy]

I am trying to write a macro script to rename ( dozens ) of blocks in dozens of files.

 

It is working fine except for one block which has a gap in it's name. The script stops running when it comes to it.

 

-rename;;b;A2-1 EE;EVAC11;;b;a2-2-EEO;EVAC12;;b;a2-3-EEDNB;EVAC13

 

This is a cut / patch paste - the problem block is highlighted red i.e. block named A2-1 EE.

 

AutoCAD rips through all the blocks in the script which come before it ( which I have not pasted up here ) and stops stating "cannot find block named A2-1".

 

The script does not "like" the gap in the blockname.

 

I have a simple workaround for now - take this block out of the script and deal with it manually in each file.

 

Is there any way to fix the script however i.e. make AutoCAD see the full blockname , gap and all ?

To be able to use names with spaces in script files you need to enclose them in quotes:

"A2-1 EE"

Thanks but now I'm getting

Cannot find block " "A2-1"

Seems that you missed to enclosed in quotes the entire name.

"A2-1 [color=red]EE[/color]"
