Help creating a data extraction table without wizard

Ok so here goes.

 

I have a number of blocks created and added to my tool pallette. At the end of a drawing I would like to have a table added which counts all the blocks and lists them in the table. Now i can get this working using the data extraction wizard but I want to make it a one button push command.

 

So at the end of the drawing the user would click on the button then click on the screen to display the table. This table would auto update or show an x through it o show that it needs updated. I have seen it done on bolt on software so assume its possible within acad itself.

 

Would this be better to be performed using a lisp routine? If so could anyone point me in the direction of where to pick one up? Ive not done any Lisp since leaving college.

You want it shown as a table in AutoCAD itself?

Yes. So it would be:

 

Hangers

Name               Count

45mm              11

100mm             2

 

Cheers

Yeah thats what im looking for. Is their a way to put a filter on it so that it only looks for certain blocks?

 

I can ask the techs to create them on a specific layer then isolate them then run the counter but was hoping to eliminate this process within the lisp.
