Writing text from a dwg to a text file?

[joltinjohn]

Hello again guys. I am having trouble writing text from my dwg to a text file.

I have no problem counting the number of text items and I can easily put text into a dwg but when I try to read the text and write it to a file I'm having a very hard time.

I would like to know how to read a DrawingText into a variable. Any examples????

Thanks,
John

Here is the script I am trying to use.

<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot; type=&quot;text/VBScript&quot;>

Set CATIA = GetObject(, &quot;CATIA.Application&quot
Set DrwDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set DrwSheets = DrwDocument.Sheets
Set Selection = DrwDocument.Selection
Set DrwSheet = DrwSheets.ActiveSheet
Set DrwView = DrwSheet.Views.ActiveView
Set DrwTexts = DrwView.Texts

Dim oText
file_set = &quot;C:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\eng1\dwg_notes\backup\dwg_notes2.txt&quot;

Set fs = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile(file_set, True)
Set AllTexts = DrwView.Texts
if AllTexts.Count > 0 Then
For Each oText In AllTexts
ts.WriteLine oText.Text
Next
End If
ts.close
</script>

I keep getting the Error &quot;object does not support this action 'Text'.

I can understand why I keep getting this. Which is saying that the oText.Text line is not valid???????

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
this should do the job:
...
for i=1 to AllTexts.count
ts.WriteLine AllTexts.Item(i).Text
next
