i need a refresher on how to search thru a selection set for a specific line of text.

An easier way might be to filter the initial selection, e.g.:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (ssget "_X" '((0 . "TEXT") (1 . "*specific line of text*")))

Hi,

How do you discriminate the "right one" from the others? The "solution" from Lee find any text, anywhere in the drawing with a match of the string in the filter, so if you need to narrow the search please tell us how.

andrew_nao,

You could search with google and restrict the search to theSwamp only.

Example:

Code: [Select]

Maybe create a Google account and use Chrome. Sign into your browser and your shortcuts will not get lost in the future ( unless you delete them ).
