Formatting a .inp file so it easily read

[tmillar]

I have a .inp file from ABAQUS that I want a script in CATIA to read.

The problem is that it presents itself in a format which my macro cannot read. An example of this is:

*Node
1, 0., 20., 0.
2, -100., 20., 0.
3, -100., 20., 5.
4, -80., 20., 5.
5, -80., 20., 10.

I have over 400 points that need read and inserted into CATIA in the format of:


0 20 0
-100 20 0
-100 20 5
-80 20 5
-80 20 10

Is there an easy and fast way of doing this?

Should be able to read into Excel, delete the Node column, then ouput to text file. Excel provides for dealing with comma or space separation of numbers.
