Autocad v12

[Sameer]

I have 1776 nos. of AutoCAD v12 files 15 year old std.
I want to create a list of these files with description in front of dwg no. in XLS.
But the problem is description is available inside each dwg file only.
I need experts help to have some trick so that I can extract description from cad file title block and list it in a text document?
Is it possible in real life? Or I will have to open each and every file and note down the description.

Please advice,

Sameer

Sameer-

It's certainly possible to automate this process. I found a thread over in he Autodesk forums:

http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5019466

that does something similar to what you want to do, minus the batch aspect. You can probably use Script pro (the Autocad batch program) and cobble something together.

Wrangler,
Perfect solution! never thought that it would work so easily.
eattext command worked smoothly and i did this in just 15 min.

Many thanx

Sameer,
