How to generate by a LISP routine an Excel list with all block names from multiple drawings? :idea:
As result:
colum | block name
------------------------------------
.dwg name | ..
| ..
| ..
.dwg name | ..
| ..
| ..

You can start here, this might help:
Write to excel (csv): http://www.lee-mac.com/writecsv.html
Execute on multiple drawings: https://www.cad-notes.com/run-a-script-on-multiple-dwg-with-scriptpro/
BIGAL:
My approach I write direct to excel, open a excel file and fill in 1st dwg block details. When you open next dwg get last cell address and then fill in details, keep repeating.
The write to a csv may be easier the only difference is to use "A" not "W" when you open file this will append to an existing file.
I would look into accoreconsole to process a lot of dwg's else just a script open a dwg, run a lisp, then close.
