ya i did that too, it runs on 1 drawings and then stops

Not sure what the problem is. If you still need help, I'll try and test some things when I get a chance.

I am making one of my first tentative forays into LISP writing. All I want to do at the moment is to create a LISP to run an existing script of mine.

Here's what it consists of at the moment:

(DEFUN C:LDS200-0 ()
(command "script" "K:\\\\_LDS JOB DATA\\RE_FILES\\DRAWING SCRIPTS\\0_LAYER PROPERTIES.scr")
)

The script is stored on a network drive (hence the additional \\'s). When I run this, I just get an error saying invalid file name. Obviously, I've checked that the path is correct and that everything is spelt right. If I copy the script onto my C drive and change the path in the LISP accordingly, it all works fine. So how can I get my LISP to browse to the script on the network drive??

I guess you'er sure about the double \\?

Have you tried this:
(command "script" "K://_LDS JOB DATA/RE_FILES/DRAWING SCRIPTS/0_LAYER PROPERTIES.scr")
or this:
(command "script" "K:\\/_LDS JOB DATA\\RE_FILES\\DRAWING SCRIPTS\\0_LAYER PROPERTIES.scr")

Thanks for the reply Alan, but both those lines result in the same error message as before (invalid file name)

BTW welcome to the Swamp.

Just for grins would you try these too.
(command "script" "K:/_LDS JOB DATA/RE_FILES/DRAWING SCRIPTS/0_LAYER PROPERTIES.scr")
or this:
(command "script" "K:\\_LDS JOB DATA\\RE_FILES\\DRAWING SCRIPTS\\0_LAYER PROPERTIES.scr")

BTW welcome to the Swamp.

Thanks!

And thanks for the other two suggestions - they both worked! Now I have the quandary of which one to use!!

[CAB]

That's a good problem to have.
