Hello. I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right direction, as this is my first major LISP routine, and my LISP knowledge is basic.
I have a drawing with many blocks. There are 4 possible block names: BLOCK1, BLOCK 2, BLOCK3, and BLOCK4.
All of the blocks have the same 3 attribute TAGS:
ROW - the row number (the blocks are laid out in alternating rows of 15 and 16 parts)
PARTNAME - This is unique for every individual block, but it incorporates data from ROW, specifically, PARTNAME = "blah-blah-ROW#-blah
DATE- doesn't need editing
I want to automate the process of changing the row numbers (for future work) by running a command-line routine that asks for a row number, gives an option to change it, and updates the part of the PARTNAME (a string) with the relevant new row#. EX: Change AttTag ROW from 1 to 2, and the partname changes from "blah-blah-R1" to "blah-blah-R2"
I don't know how to connect the ROW and PARTNAME data.
Any helpful hints or directions to ebooks or known function subroutines, would really help.
