11 158.418 -234.742 280.000 3

Now I want to extract only nodes from this file and put them into another text file as follows,

101.582 -234.742 280.000
-76.838 -234.742 280.000
-54.479 -234.742 280.000
-34.276 -234.742 280.000
-16.020 -234.742 280.000
0.476 -234.742 280.000
19.063 -234.742 280.000
37.649 -234.742 280.000
72.755 -234.742 280.000
112.781 -234.742 280.000
158.418 -234.742 280.000
I should omit all the setences and other details, I only need coordinates of nodes in another text file. Pls help me how to write a program.

Regards,
Sitha.

How many other forums have you posted at, or did you just come here because you've heard about the reputation of some of the geeks who inhabit here and thought it'd be a good place to get your homework done for you?

Will the nodes always be the final text in the file?

Anyways, doing something like that in C++ seems a bit overkill. I'd personally do it in Perl.

[zootm]

I'd use Java, but that's mostly because my development tools for Java are already open...

C++ is probably not the tool for the job though, no.

I think you need ask this question here http://forums.devshed.com/

I think in a loop with std::string::search

[xzxzzx]

It could be done in one line in Python.

[gameplaya15143]

read in 1 line at a time.. when you come to "NODES" you know the next lines are the ones you want

then all you have to do is rip the coords out of the string and put them in a new text file

I say to myself: thank you captain obvious

i'd say more, but i dont know the functions off the top of my head.. google is your friend

I'd have never thought to do it that way

I'd use Perl, but that's mostly because my source editor is already open...
