Help updating Multi-Line Attributes via Lisp

[Anonymous]

I use a Lisp Routine to update station tags information from a .csv file. I'm wanting to add a multi-line attribute to the station tag but can not figure out how to update the multi-line attribute. Below is the attribute entity information and the multi-line text that I want to update by the Lisp routine is shown after the (101 . Embedded Object). I'm trying to update the dotted pair (1 . \W0.8000;This is a test Multi-line attribute) but since this is the second (1. I haven't been able to figure out how to update it.

((-1 . ) (0 . ATTRIB) (330 . ) (5 . 279C) (100 . AcDbEntity) (67 . 0) (410 . Model) (8 . tag-text) (100 . AcDbText) (10 914.375 813.565 0.0) (40 . 0.0742188) (1 . ) (50 . 0.0) (41 . 0.8) (51 . 0.0) (7 . TILE-TEXT) (71 . 0) (72 . 1) (11 914.375 813.602 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (100 . AcDbAttribute) (2 . DESC) (70 . 0) (73 . 0) (74 . 2) (280 . 1) (71 . 2) (72 . 1) (11 914.375 813.602 0.0) (101 . Embedded Object) (10 914.375 813.602 0.0) (40 . 0.0742188) (41 . 1.0) (46 . 0.0) (71 . 5) (72 . 5) (1 . \W0.8000;This is a test Multi-line attribute) (7 .

Just to let the powers that be know. When I see the following nonsense on the
newsreader side I ignore it.

If you don't fix this mess soon, I will not waste my time with this forum in the
future.

I'm just as frustrated as you, Joe. I've sent several comments to
Autodesk about the condition of these forums. Perhaps you can
also? Something tells me they are not reading about the problems
here.

Joe, Jason,
I agree totally. They really messed up this Web interface.
Maybe (IF) they would just 'default' the Post (window) to 'Rich Text', it
would at least be readable. I don't use the OE side at all, so I cannot
speak to that.

Done.

Bob, Jason, Herman,

I guess what bothers me the most is I haven't seen any messages from the folks who
run this stuff saying they are working on the problems.

If they are stonewalling until things return to normal, I may be gone by then. Given
little patience for idiots who break thing which worked as expected in the past.

This also shakes my confidence in Autodesk. If they can't do something simple like
manage newsgroups, why should I trust anything else they do?

Hi Joe,

Agreed on all points. I certainly would have expected some
type of public announcement from Autodesk about what they
are doing to fix this mess. It appears they are not concerned
about it at all.

Sorry Guys this was the first time I posted and didn't realize that I wasn't in RT mode.

Can anyone give me tip on updating Multi-Line Attributes with a Lisp Routine?

Thanks,

You will need to walk through each (assoc .... of the entity, and check for 1, then,
modify the 2nd occurance.. something like:
(foreach pair entity_list
(if (= 1 (car pair))
... will pick up on the 1 bit.

(setq count 0)
(foreach pair entity_list

(if (= 1 (car pair))

(setq count (+ count 1))

(if (= count 2)
... will pick up on the (2nd) 1 bit.
