text file scanner

(1/6) > >>

Khameleon:
I'm not really sure how to go about this.. so I'll just tell you guys what I'm looking for and maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

a little background history... I work on a CNC machine which is coded by a McMaster Cam design program the file format is .nc which can be read in text file format.  what I'm looking for is a program that reads the whole text file and reports each tool # and the Farthest Z Depth. I'm looking for a text file that I can attach to show you what the file looks like...

Masscre:
There are a ton of file parsing tools out there and reporting tools most are free. Get me a copy of one of th efiles and I can prolly get you a link to one or even help you right one quickly in c or pascal.

Khameleon:
thanks a lot.. I'll have to wait till Monday before I can snag a file from work... I've been reading the program we use is way out dated but for small business's it does what we need.  I'm sure its gotta be sometime simple for you guys that write programs all the time...
from what I can remember is you will see the start of a tool would be something like
T1 [Tool 1]
a few lines of code then you will start to see the z values somethine like
Z-1.125
ect ect ect.

sometimes the z will have multiple depths for each tool I would like to find the deepest depth for each Tool Number.

here's the type of code that i'm looking to scan...

Sometimes tools are pulled up multiple times at different z depths I don't know if there is a way to scan for T1M6 (T1 = Tool Change to Tool 1) scan the whole section for Z-(what ever this is) until it hits M01 then scan for the next tool T2M6 all the way till the next M01 and so on... then create some sort of Tool List with the farthest Z depth? 


if I confused you please ask me to help me to help you help me :P

Endless Night:
you get this all sorted Kham ?
