Really simple question

Hi guys,

Really simple questions which I know there is a answer to, though I'm too new to GH to get my head round it!

All I am wanting to do is import a huge number of points (x,y,z) into grasshopper, considering I have just started yesterday to use it, the way to do it seems highly convoluted.

Current method - works for small number of values,

Import text points into rhino, set manually in GH "set multiple points"

Really poor way of doing it I know.

I have been attempting to write some script using VB components to read the text file directly and translate to a string set, but either its not going correctly or my lack of knowledge is letting me down.

Is there a super simple way of acheiving the above, I have searched for hours for a example, and only found one using VB text import script.

Any help is much appreciated, even a nudge in the right direction!

thanks

Pete

This is a link to a thread which discusses parsing with the 'Read File' component.

Excellent, was trying to find that!

Puts it perfectly in a example which works, thanks alot! Now just to let the computer churn through the thousands of points to load!
