How to add a group in a selection set from an AutoLISP function?

By Gopinath Taget

The following code selects all the entities contained in a group.

(defun selgrp (grpname)
   ;; grpname is the group name, it accepts
   ;; unnamed groupnames, such as *A1
   (setq grp (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_GROUP"))
   (setq a1 (dictsearch (cdr (assoc -1 grp)) grpname))
   (setq ss (ssadd))
   (while (/= (assoc 340 a1) nil)
      (setq ent (assoc 340 a1))
      (setq ss (ssadd (cdr ent) ss))
      (setq a1 (subst (cons 0 "") ent a1))
   )
   ss
)
