mjf1999 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I do a search (FIND) for a text string in my .dwg and get a list, the main problem is that AutoCAD won't let me COPY out the results from my search... I'd like to copy the hits from this list into a .txt or .xls file but CTRL+C won't work and there's no right-click options Is there a lisp program available or other options to get the results in a table or Excel ?

CyberAngel Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) This question over at the Autodesk Community sounds eerily familiar, but it's from 2015. Welcome to the forum! Edited May 16 by CyberAngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjf1999 Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 @CyberAngel you are right, I saw that when googling for an answer to this case but also no solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Using ssget filters can be done. This will make a selection set which can then become a CSV or direct to Excel. (setq str (strcat (getstring "\Enter string prefix") "*")) (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "TEXT")(cons 1 str)))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjf1999 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 @BIGAL Thank you, I do not know lisp that much, do you have a complete lisp to do that. Maybe something like after pressing DONE will transfer the results to the clipboard or Excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Do you want 1 string search to excel or is it do repeated searches. Please confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
