Hi John,
I used your grip file to output the points on a spline.
It works great, thanks!! Would it be possible to increase the number of points??
Once i go above 1000,I get an error. Any help would be much appreciated!

After posting I realized that I can get
one file name input from the user and
make the two by adding forward for the first
and reverse for the second.

As you mentioned in your last post.
 
Good idea with CREATE/TXT,2 and WRITE/2.
I had it create and write another TXT,1 and WRITE/1 by copying and pasting!
I have data format set as:
Code:
DATA_FORMAT='#@@@  X#@@@.@@@  Y#@@@.@@@  Z#@@@.@@@'
and a typical output is :
Code:
[indent][/indent]   1  X  -9.700  Y  50.046  Z   3.482
   2  X  -2.733  Y  40.683  Z   2.331
   3  X  -2.737  Y  28.916  Z   1.226
Is it possible to either the point number (1,2,3.....) or remove the unnecessary sapces? (or maybe have 0001, 0002, 0003...)
I had DATA_FORMAT='N#@@@ X#@@@.@@@ Y#@@@.@@@ Z#@@@.@@@' so i could get N1, N2, N3 etc,
but instead I got N 1, N 2, N 3 etc. 'N#@' didn't fix it.
If I could remove the extra spaces, I'd be sorted.
