title block attribute mapping

[mauen]

I am trying to write a LISP file that maps different lines of my project descriptions to a common attribute name on my title block based on my dwg name. For example, if I have a drawing ##322-54####.dwg, and the first ## equals 21 and the last #### equals 1000, I want to map LINE13 of my project descriptions to my title block attribute named SERIES_NUMBER. I have the LISP file current working to read the file name correctly, but the problem is that LISP does not know what the LINEXX is. Is there a global variable that I can access my project descriptions, or how do I get LISP to understand the LINEXX or the string of characters for LINE13 of my project descriptions. I have attached my .wdt file that I am trying to create this functionality into.

I believe you can get these project descriptions with the following lisp

(setq lst (nth 1 (c:wd_proj_wdp_data_fnam (ace_getactiveproject))))

The return is a list with the first element, nth 0 as nil so that LINE1
would start at nth 1.

Hope this helps,
