more values in princ

Is there a way to make the text window in autocad show all of the data in
really large lists using princ? As it is now it cuts off the beginning and
the end so I can't see if my farmatting is ok.

Thanks,
kemp

 

Something like this?

(defun princ_list (lst num / count)
(setq count 0)
(while (< count (1- (length lst)))
(princ (nth count lst))
(princ " ")
(setq count (1+ count))
(if (= (rem count num) 0)
(getstring "\n Press enter to continue .....")
)
)
)

Useage: (princ_list mylist 100)
This will print out the list "mylist" and stop every 100 items and ask for
you to press enter.

HTH,
Jeff

 

That'll do the trick - thanks!

If you are using 2000 or later, and the list is in a variable, use the vlisp
IDE (vlide).
Type the variable name into the Visual LISP Console window, highlight it,
right-click on it and pick inspect. Select the top item in the resulting
list, right click on it and pick pretty-print.

You can now copy and paste the formatted list into a text editor or use it
any way you like.
