Hi oompa,
I made a file called "coordinates.txt" which contained some comma-
separated numbers (3 per line). I then put the path to this file (C:
\Users\David\Desktop\coordinates.txt) into a PostIt panel and fed it
into a VB component. I called the input parameter "path" and set the
hint to String.
The following code will examine all lines in the file and create a
list of points:
Sub RunScript(ByVal path As String)
If (Not IO.File.Exists(path)) Then Return False
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(path)
If (lines Is Nothing) Then Return False
Dim pts As New List(Of On3dPoint)
For Each line As String In lines
Dim parts As String() = line.Split(",".ToCharArray())
Dim x As Double = Convert.ToDouble(parts(0))
Dim y As Double = Convert.ToDouble(parts(1))
Dim z As Double = Convert.ToDouble(parts(2))
pts.Add(New On3dPoint(x, y, z))
Next
A = pts
End Sub
