Use the formula component with the Format() expression.
It should look something like this:
Format("Vertical line number {0:0} = {1:0.000} ", x, y)
Use the component with two inputs, in x place a list of numbers that
is the same size as the list of lengths you have and in y place the
length. Check out the 'streaming points to a text file' example in the
wiki page since it uses this method.
You can also use this to add columns in excel. Since you are streaming
the data to a text file I suppose that is your objective. You can use
any character you want to divide each row of the post-it into columns
(you could use '=' in this case). When you import it to excel, tell it
to use that character to divide columns.
Btw, maybe there's another method to find the position of each length
without having to create a parallel set of numbers, but at least this
method should work.
