reading text objects (contents) in GH...

Here's what I'm trying to do, I hope someone can help.

I have a file - a site survey imported from CAD - with a few thousand text objects marking elevation points in the terrain. the drawing is flat, and there are no topo lines. I'm trying to build the terrain as a surface based on these numbers.

if I had unlimited time, I could of course go in and add a point at the proper elevation for each text object, but I hope there's a way to do this with VB and GH...

Basically, I need to read the contents of each text object, and plot a point at that elevation. Once I have the points I can just create a patch surface through them.

So, my question is - how to do this?
