adding one

[prose]

Is there a lisp routine out there that can add "1" to the selected numbers you choose?

[ccowgill]

you can search for text increment in the augi forums, that may do what you need

Thank you. I already have something similar to that.
My real question is, once you have 62 numbers on the drawing, if you missed a device address between 4 and 5, can you add one to numbers 5-62 to make it 6-63 since I missed a number which happens to be number 5 in this example.

Wow, I hope that made sense.

Are they attributes, mtext or text?

Just regular text.

The lisp function (1+) will do it.

;;;Example
(setq k 5)
(1+ k)
;;; returns 6
;;; Notice that there is no space between 1 and +
;;;
;;;
;;; You could also use this
(+ 1 k)

Okay, I have tried many ways, and still no luck.
Here is one of the many ways I have tried.

(defun c:add1 ()
(setq ns (ssget))
(+ 1 ns)
)

Any ideas as what I am doing wrong.

I have tried this as well

(defun c:add ()
(setq nb (getint "Enter Number to add:"))
(setq ns (ssget '((-4 . "<OR")
                    (0 . "MTEXT")
                    (0 . "TEXT")
                    (-4 . "OR>")
                   )
           )
)
(+ ns nb)
)

but I keep getting an error like this

Select objects:
; error: bad argument type: numberp: <Selection set: 1586a>

Read the HELP files for these functions.

(ssget) returns a selection set, and (+) and (1+) expect a number.

To do what you are trying to do, you need to extract the *value* of each item in the selection set, and then convert that to a number, and then add the value that you want to add, and then update each item with this new value.

There is a version of what you are trying to do in this ZIP file.
