Sambuddy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I am not even sure how to pose this question - so here she goes: I am not quite sure if you can select content with different colours within a text (see attachment). The code below only finds text colour selected by the layer. Is there a way? My whole intention is to sort them so that say if I pick BELL (colour 150) or RORGERS (colour 22) then the white text strings and colour 150 remains and the rest be removed - sorting by colour and merging the text condition the selection and colour!!! Possible? (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "*TEXT")(62 . 1)))) if yes...how??? text sample.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 MText formatting is embedded within the text content (here is a reference for the majority of available formatting codes); as such, you will need to test the text content of the presence of the colour formatting code "\C<colour>;" where <colour> is the ACI colour number.

Iterate over the set (using one of the methods described here). Obtain the full text content held by each MTEXT entity (concatenate all DXF group 3 & 1 values). Use wcmatch to test for the existence of \C<colour>; within the content, where <colour> is the ACI colour number you require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuddy Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Thank you Lee Mac, I believe I can follow these guidelines for a hope of filtering colours within a text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
