Can someone give me some good examples of using wildcards in their scripts.

Such as Find and Replace Text or whatever you use them for so I can get some ideas. Thanks

The search and log and search and replace scripts are backended by lisp. You can modify the lisp to suit your needs. I'm no lisp expert, so the introduction of Wild-Cards into the lisp would be a great idea, but difficult to implement (from what I understand) (Especially all the different variations).

If anyone can modify REPTEXT.LSP to get that working, it would be a good (but dangerous if misused ) addition.

Thank You!



When I use the later one (#'s) it chooses a drawing which has a text string like this "1B3-TB21-R4-41". I didn't expect it to because I have eight (8) #'s before the "21", not six (6). Humm.

Re: Search & Log Text

After running your "Search and Log" script, click the "File List" button, your list will appear in there. (So long as $HUR_PATH$DATA/$USER$-TextLog.lst was the place you told it to put the .lst file)

Also, I've done a Search & Log Text. Is there a way to place this list in the File Que? If so, I'm not seeing it.

Thanks again

If you pull up the SEARCH & LOG TEXT WIZARD you'll find some good examples or usage, (however you want to look at it).

Personally... I feel these can be useful on a SEARCH & LOG script, but might be quite dangerous on a SEARCH & REPLACE script if you're not careful.
