Topic: iterating attributes

[BillZndl]

Found several examples but when I do it,
the Tag and the TextString stay the same during the loop.
The block has 5 attributes, all stirng values with different Tag names.

Count : 5
AR: PART# 2037248
AR: PART# 2037248
AR: PART# 2037248
AR: PART# 2037248
AR: PART# 2037248

Here's what the block attribute collection looks like (see attached image).

Code: [Select]

BlockReference TagBlkRef = (BlockReference)trans.GetObject(BlkRefIds[0], OpenMode.ForRead);
ObjectId TagId = TagBlkRef.AttributeCollection[0];
DBObject obj = trans.GetObject(TagId, OpenMode.ForRead);
AttributeReference ar = (AttributeReference)obj;
AttributeCollection abtr = TagBlkRef.AttributeCollection;         

                if (FileName == ar.TextString)
                {                   
                    foreach (ObjectId arId in abtr)                   
                    {                       
                        DBObject Aobj = trans.GetObject(arId, OpenMode.ForRead);
                        ar = obj as AttributeReference;

                        if (ar != null)
                        {
                            editor.WriteMessage("\nAR: " + ar.Tag + " " + ar.TextString);
                            editor.WriteMessage("\n Hey, not changing.");

Ooops, now it's working.

DBObject Aobj = trans.GetObject(arId, OpenMode.ForRead);

should be

obj = trans.GetObject(arId, OpenMode.ForRead);

as object was already declared.  :ugly:

< sigh >

Thanks anyways!

I am not able to follow it with the code posted,
 
but guessing do you mean

DBObject Aobj = trans.GetObject(arId, OpenMode.ForRead);
Aobj = Aobj as AttributeReference;

instead of

ar = obj as AttributeReference;

Nevermind looks like you caught it.

Don't know.
Everything looked okay to begin with.
Then didn't work as expected so I was debugging when I noticed the error.
Fixed that and everything worked.
Just trying to do too much in one day.

Thanks!
