Command Line Only

[dfaunce]

I'm writing a script and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to perform one of the simplest functions in CAD. Because this is a script I cannot use a mouse, only command prompt.

Technically I want this:

ZOOM
SELECTION
10,-10 -40,40

and then I also tried this:

ZOOM
SELECTION
10,-10
-40,40

I want it to select all object between 10,-10 and -40,40 and perform the ZOOM->SELECTION function.

The problem is that the command prompt will neither accept a "space" nor a new line after my first point (10,-10).

I know this is achievable, I just can't figure out the right syntax. Can anyone help?

This is what I put in a .scr file in NotePad, and it seemed to work.

zoom se 10,-10 -40,40 chr


There is an "Enter" or line feed, or whatever, after the "chr". For whatever reason, the script wouldn't work without it...
