How to get the name of an object with autolisp

[Mhmd]

I'm trying to get the name of an object with auto lisp.

 

First a user will select an object and then I will get the name of that object for example: circle, rectangle, arc....

 

Here is what I have so far:

 

(setq ss (ssget (prompt ".....Select required object...")))
(ssname ss 0)

 

But this will give something like: "":(

 

I want to get something like: "circle", "line"...

 

Is this possible?

You can do the same in VLISP its a vla-get-name

 

(setq objname (vla-get-objectname (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel)))))
