Visual LISP, AutoLISP and General Customization

[#1]

I am new to CAD automation (LISP/VBA) but was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction...

We store a "Bill of Materials" list as an MText in many drawings. I will ultimately use this list in excel. Here's what I need to do:
-Select the Mtext in a drawing which contains the string "Bill of Materials"
-Write the contents of the Mtext to a text file

-repeat the process for every drawing in a particular folder, each time appending the text to the bottom of the text file.

any help would be totally appreciated!!!

Thanks

This will get you started
Just change initial folder name for Browser
and name of existing text file
This is the VBA project - you can easily
rewrite it on Lisp
And also check all references accordingly to your
Acad configuration before
