I am writing a lisp for autocad and I am in the final stage to create it. I want to write a command that is the same as dragging and dropping a text file into your drawing (this creates an mtext in your drawing with the content of the text file as mtext). Does anyone know the command?
Thank you.
The drag and drop handler for the AutoCAD document window is not a command. There is no built-in command that creates an mtext entity from the contents of a text file.

When you try to automatically enter the desired content (and there will be a lot of such objects with text content and I would prefer to avoid entering all the necessary data manually), the input field moves from the console to the area highlighted with a red rectangle, which makes it impossible to automatically create signatures.
The question is, is it possible to make the input field of the desired content always remain on the command line?

I understand that by "automatically" you mean copying and pasting from some editor to the AutoCAD command prompt.
I will never work that way, you must use a programming language and I think the easiest thing is to use AutoLISP.
Try copying and pasting this:
(command "_mtext" "36,0" "42,0" "your text here" "")
and note the empty string at the end "" that finalises the MTEXT command.
I work on mainframes and don't have much knowledge about windows other than playing warcraft :-) hence pardon me if I ask something nooby/silly.
I have a requirement to enter a particular long-text in the current position of a cursor whenever a shortcut key is pressed.
I am thinking of creating a bat file and assigning a windows keyboard shortcut to the bat file and whenever I have requirement to enter the long text, I press the windows shortcut key
and the long text gets typed in the current position of the cursor.
The current position of the cursor can be in any application, like Excel, Word or notepad or Windows dialog prompts.
Could you please let me know if this is possible and point me where I could get some information about this "technique".

To make a single key combo do what you are asking, you may need another program. You can make a link to a batch file, hook up a shortcut and then use the clip command to copy text from a file onto the clipboard. That would require the shortcut and then a Ctrl+V to paste. The batch file would look like this:
clip < c:\SomeDir\sometext.txt
You might like to look at using a clipboard manager - which saves a history of clipboard entries, can search for an entry, and paste it at the cursor.
Ditto and CLCL are both useful and free - which one you use depends on your windows version.
They are hotkey driven for ease of use, but mouse can be used.
I was trying to set up my bash in such a way that whenever I highlight (by selecting it with the mouse) any text it automatically gets copied to clipboard. How can I do this?
Thanks!
X11 has a concept of the selection which is distinct from the clipboard. You can easily paste the last selection by middle-clicking the destination.
I want to create a simple extension which modifies text buffers based on a command. No sample, documentation or template that I've found so far explains anything about working with text buffers. Anyone got a clue how to do this?
What I want to end up with is a format selection/document extension for text files, that wrap content around 72 characters per line.
I found this extension together with sample very helpful, and now I have something which works. Though it was very counter intuitive at first, I was trying to get the at the code window while this example instead uses a command filter to fiddle with the text view by extending the editor.
The ITextView interface provides access to the text in the editor, you can access the Buffer through that and make changes that way.

The problem I face is this:
I would like to have in a context menu (when i right-click on a folder) an action to be executed and display the output to the user, inside, let's say, a text area window with a vertical scrolling bar. Suppose, that the action is just a shell script that executes a "find" command inside the given directory, searching for a specified pattern.
I have managed to implement it, up to this point, using Automator. What I cannot do is to pipe the output in a synchronous fashion (what is meant by "synchronous" is to have the output print to the user when is produced by the "find" command, and not after the command has finished) in a GUI.
I have spent sometime searching on this and I have come to the conclusion that XCode and Interface Builder have to be put into the play? Am I on the right track? Is there a straightforward and simple way in succeeding in this without having to dig into this framework?
Thank you very much,
Babis
You can have the shell script throw a dialog when it gets the result using http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/
