Search in proximity of block

[r.ene]

I have been breaking my head on how to go about the following challange: I have a layer with certain blocks. On another layer there are text objects always close to the mentioned blocks. I need to find the text directly in vicinity of the objects (can be verified with regexes) and add this text as an attibute to this block. Greatful for any assisance

With a similar goal, I've used the following steps:

 - create a bounding polygon for the block. (try to use a rectangle if possible.)

 - expand the bounding polygon to enclose the related text.

 - use the polygon for a window-limited selection set.

 - add, if useful, filters in the selection set for the text's layer and for the text object type.

 - iterate through the items in the selection set, qualifying the text with your regex - if needed.

Your success will depend on the uniformity of your drafting conventions. (How "directly in the vicinity" the text actually is.)
