Hello everyone!
I was wondering if there exists a lisp that can open files and run other lisps on these files.
For example, I would like to be able to type a command and for that command to go and open another drawing and run another lisp on it.
So to clear things up... I only want to type the command at the first file, but I would like it to open the second file and run other lisps within the second file (possibly even open more files). The reason I want this done is because I want zero user interaction. Let me know of any ideas/suggestions you may have. Thanks!

Maybe try a script? I think scripts can call lisp routines. They certainly can be used to batch process a folder full of drawings.

I tried the following script: (the OPEN_003 is a lisp that opens a drawing file that ends with "E003" & the GET_ATT is a lisp to retrieve a specific attribute from a block)
FILEDIA 0
ZOOM
E
GET_ATT
OPEN_003
ZOOM
E
GET_ATT
QUIT |
When the above is ran, everything is done to the file that is opened initially. What I want is for the script beneath "OPEN_003" to run on the newly opened drawing. Is there a way to do this?
