Extract from text string to attribute values.

[Anonymous]

I am trying to search a single text string and extract values to "paste" into attribute values in a block.

Text string example: "PoleNumber=3-146592$Owner=APCO$Attachment1=57'-4"

Is it possible to search out PoleNumber=, retrieve the 3-146592 and populate an attribute value for PoleNumber based on each search criteria? As in, then search for Owner= and populate attribute Owner with APCO?

I feel like this is possible but have no idea how to begin to achieve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Anonymous ,

you must be doing something wrong, if you made changes to code reverse it back 

it's working perfect here

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

I guess now I'm going to be greedy and ask... If I now have "Attachment1=57'-4"$Attachment2=$Attachment3=54'-2" " is there a way to bypass empty "fields" an continue extracting the rest of the text? If I'm asking too much, I'm sorry and do appreciate what you've given already.

Attached is an updated lisp to handle no field => Attachment1=57'-4"$Attachment2=$Attachment3=54'-2" 

where the is nothing between the "=" and the following "$". This would have returned a sub list of length 1 which is now filtered out.

Again I have not tested on your drawing as I can only open drawing in AutoCAD 2010 or earlier.

Hope this meets your need.
