editing table with script

[Timothy Sim]

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to change the text of a table using script. I started with:

 

Tabledit

(then it asked me to pick a table cell) and i am stuck..

 

I have tried different option - 2,A / 2A / A2...etc but have failed miserably. refer to attached image for the table i was trying to edit. just changing the XXX with an actual date.

 

Any help from 'the experts' will be greatly appreciated.

The command expects a point value.

To edit tables via Lisp code it is better to use the VL functions:

(vla-settext (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))) 1 0 "20160831")

A different approach we run the table as a multi line block, there has been a few posts about auto updating etc adding a new line etc search here.

 

Interesting which is correct Issue or the verb Issued.
