LM:UnFormat and variable lispsys in AutoCAD 2021

[Mara821]

Hi,

the function LM:UnFormat from Lee Mac stopped working for me in Autocad 2021. Function returns only first line of multi line text for example.

It could work with variable lispsys set to 2 (support ascii) by reference manual, but it doesn't seems to work. I would like use VS, so set lispsys back to 0 is not solution . So is there another way to solve this?

I am sure Lee will answer what happens if you paste this line to command line.

 

(setq rx (vlax-get-or-create-object "VBScript.RegExp"))

 

Command: (setq rx (vlax-get-or-create-object "VBScript.RegExp"))
#<VLA-OBJECT IRegExp2 00000162219e3b60>

 

VBScript.RegExp is a VBA application may need to load the vba extension for Autocad.

FYI:

What you are experiencing is bug in AutoCAD 2021.  l reported it to Autodesk a couple weeks ago. They confirmed it is a bug and said hopefully it will be fixed on the next AutoCAD update. Until then, I am keeping LISPSYS set to 1.

(setq rx (vlax-get-or-create-object "VBScript.RegExp")) return this:

 

Command: (setq rx (vlax-get-or-create-object "VBScript.RegExp"))
#<VLA-OBJECT IRegExp2 000002b2904ca4e0>

 

No error occures.
