How to read next tool in the next tool path.

[jlogic45]

I have a mill control and I read the last tool from the last tool path. I need to read the next tool paths tool number. the problem is the mom_next_tool is not the tool in the next tool path it would be path5 in the example below, the mill control is in the middle of several tool paths using the same tool. I've even tried mom_next_operation_tool_change that is always yes due to the mill control tool set to "none", I don't want to set the tool in the mill control.

I don't necessarily need the tool number I need to know if the last tool path before the mill control and the next tool path after the mill control uses the same tool. The mill control tool = None so it's tool number is 0. In the example below I need to look and find that path2 and path3 use the same tool. I need to Prove it?

Example program view
path1 t15
path2 t16
MillControl Tool set to NONE
path3
path4
path5 t14

There is some sort of read ahead cycle command that I have no idea how to use or find any documentation on it. Maybe someone here can comment on it.

If I had to do it I would make a list and write the tool and path name to it. Also "|" , I would use to separate the data.

the finish list would look like this

{path1 | t15
path2 | t16
MillControl Tool |NONE
path3 | t16
path4 | t16
path5 | t14 }

Then at the end of your program you can analyze it.
