read txt file via DIESEL

[samifox]

I need to create a simple txt file with path addresses ,

For example, I have few dwg databases for blocks, I want to be able to place a button in the tool palette to open that dwg at any time,

I could set a macro to that that in the button properties, but since I have lots of dwg files I want it to be in a text file.

 

Is there a way I can tell to a button to read a path from a text file?

I don't think that's possible. Here's the best reference that I know of

Do you want one button to open multiple dwg files?

 

You may need to use multiple diesel strings in one macro or write a Lisp script and call that from your button.

i wrote a lisp,

but the char "\" is formatting the text.

 

how can i make the interpeter to avoid "/"?

 

(setq root "C:\Dropbox\Autocad\")

(setq p
      (strcat root "csr\zoom.csr")
)

In your file paths, try substituting "\" with "/".

 

(setq root "C:/Dropbox/Autocad/")

Try this use double backslash Yz you can have problems if there is a space in the directory name using single forward slash, a bit of history on unix you had to reverse the slashes.

(setq root "C:\\Dropbox\\Autocad\\")
(setq p (strcat root "csr\\zoom.csr"))
