[razkaman]

Hi Everybody

this is my first post in the forum, hope you all doing well

i have a problem with changing layer name trough script

i use perl program to make the script for me

first i make in excell, and save as text(tab delimited)

and using perl to make me a scr

my problem is , in the drawing there is so many layer with space in it . example : "alignment name" , "approach slab"

because autocad is read space as enter. how i can change layer in autocad that has space , connected maybe with underline or tab ( _ or -)

Is that a question if I know?

Thats very simple in excel.

=""""&A1&""""

...if "Your Layer Name" is in A1 cell.
