Submitted by syssalan on Thu, 2007-06-21 09:46


Now i have some data written in text file (.txt).

e.g.:
X  10  Y  20  Z  30
Length  40  Width  50  Height  60

I want to use this data to draw a box in the 3ds max. However, I want the software can read and understand well the text file, so that I don't need to creat an new text file which contains only the integer. How can I do that? Is there any helpful scripts or functions? for example how to skip the letter in the text file when I read the integer ?

Parsing your data is just simple text manipulation and conversion to the correct variables you need.

Simple stuff.
