Help - exporting co-ordintaes from AutoCad

I am a ong time user but have never got into the inner workings of lisp or any other "power tools". Anyway, I need to make an ascii (or compatable) file containing the x,y (z=0) coordinates of a several hundred points/circles/lines. I have searched far and wide and tried a few routines that claim to do something along these lines.....but to know avail. When I used to do cad/cam I know there were converters that "spit out coordintes and can't image that this is a diffuicult thing to do. I know you can run the "list" or ""id" commands and then copy/paste that into a text editor and then massage the dzta but that would take a few days and would be slightly error prone.

Anyone?

Thanks much
