LISP request for advanced find from a list

[smallƑish]

I have a list in a notepad file 

the same data included in a dwg file as a block attribute

Just needed to find the att with the effect of  the find command 

sample files attached  attached 

purpose  of the process is; (nothing to do with code, just for understanding )

1. make sure I didn't miss any att

2. location of the block is an in correct room

What happens when you run the Find command 

Are the results not what you expected 

[smallƑish]

"Find" is working properly, but if there is a bulk quantity, it's a ton of time-consuming. 

[paullimapa]

doesn't matter if there's a bulk and with code it'll fly by the find process.

so where's the code?

[smallƑish]

i don't have any code 😞

[paullimapa]

So explain clearly what happens when a match is found

[smallƑish]

What I imagine is, When the code runs, let it find the first line data from the notepad, and find the match att block. Then press any key (TAB) let it jump to second line and pan to the particular att match in the dwg. Similarly till end of the line from notepad. 

[smallƑish]

If copy paste from Note pad data to DWG, as text or Mtext also preferable, if it may difficult to connect with Notepad file.

Try FnAtV.lsp attached.

It doesn't allow you to TAB but at least you can choose from options at the command line as to how to respond when matching items are found.

Note the following settings that can be modified to your requirements at the beginning of the code:

 (setq blknam "-EP-LEEDER-1" ; block name
       lyrnam "Verified"     ; layer name 
       lyrcol "3"            ; layer color
       tagnam "CIRCUIT"      ; attribute tag name
       zmfac  ".2x"          ; zoom away from object factor
 )

OMG it's working with a lot of advanced features. Thank you so much. It's a TON time saver. 

[paullimapa]

glad to have helped...cheers!!!

[smallƑish]

if possible can you just add  verified and unverified  buttons here also? 

When we found duplicate blocks.

[paullimapa]

ok, try this modified version.

[smallƑish]

I apologise,My mistake, I have made a wrong post and edited Message 12. 

[paullimapa]

So not Verifiedall but just Verified which applies to the current highlighted item?

Clicking Next or Previous is the same as Unverified right?

[smallƑish]

My request is having all 4 options,

1. Next / previous 

2. Exit

3. Verified 

4. Unverified 

So we can compare previous and next, then verify the correct one/multiple, and move on. 

[paullimapa]

4 options are:

Next - won’t show on last item

Previous - won’t show on first item

Verified - this option changes highlighted item’s layer 

Exit - this option exits out of reviewing the current matching set 

What does Unverified do?

[smallƑish]

True, sometimes I do overthinking 😭

[smallƑish]

Yes. Yes 

This version 100% suite with the requirements

It's hard to believe your patience level. 🫡

Thank you so much Sir
