I have tried entering 
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(1 . "ETCH*,MARK*,STAMP*"))) 
at the "select objects" prompt which will select the text blocks I am looking for but when I run it with my lisp routine I get an error: 
"; error: bad argument type: stringp nil"

I am however able to pick up the text I need with DATAEXTRACTION but I'm not sure if there's a way filter out text with value I do not care about.

I am still new to lisp and data extraction so bare with me lol

Below is my current lisp routine which works for data that has attributes, what I did was replace the current ssget command with the one i mentioned above to get that error.

(defun c:att-out (/ dn)
 (load "attout")
 (setq dn (getvar "dwgname"))
 (setq fna (strcat "C:/Users/Allan/Desktop/LISP/dump/" dn ".txt"))
 (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))))
 (bns_attout fna ss)
)

I have also thought of just using DATAEXTRACTION to grab everything and sorting it out in excel but it would be easier if I could avoid that. Any help to put me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize if i did not include everything you need here, just let me know if you need more information and I will be happy to supply it.
