Search Text String

[SilentStrike24]

Hi guys!

Please help me with a small issue.

Is there any free routine that can search a text string in a drawing and then add it in a formula? String is "TOTAL LENGTH:XXX" (XXX is variable) and i need to set dimension text height = XXX value * 0.4

I already set the dimension variables, only text/arrows height needs to be calculated. (see below code)

Thanks in advance!

(defun c:dsq()(command "dimclrt" "7" "" )(command "dimasz" "1" "" )(command "dimtxt" "1" "" )(command "dimclrd" "1" "" )(command "dimclre" "1" "" )(command "dimscale" "1" "" )(command "dimdec" "0" "" )(command "dimtvp" "0.7" "" )(command "dimtih" "OFF" "" )(command "dimtoh" "OFF" "" )(command "dimexo" "0" "" )(command "dimexe" "0.8" "" )(command "dimcen" "2" "" )(command "dimtofl" "ON" "" )(command "dimtfill" "0" "" )(princ))

[Same question as >here<.  Are you the same person with more than one User ID?  This is the better Forum for it, anyway.]

If it's really always exactly as described, then in simplest terms, something like:

(setq

  txt (car (entsel "\nSelect TOTAL LENGTH Text object: "))

  yourTextArrowsHeight (* (atof (vl-string-subst "" "TOTAL LENGTH:" (getpropertyvalue txt "TextString"))) 0.4)

); setq
