B&B has a good share of nerdy very intelligent, computer literate and higly capable people. I was wondering if any of you can open and teach me how to make a script or program (I know C and LISP) that will create a similar file like this automaticallly. It is a log file created by Autocad. I would like to do this using windows as OS.

My file.

File and string manipulation is pretty easy in perl. It's free, and the O'Reilly books are great helpers. Given the languages you know, it should take you about 2 days to get up to speed.

What would the interface be? I mean, it looks like it may be a hierarchical format of some sort. As long as you can figure out the proper hierarchy and the delimiters, serialization shouldn't be difficult.

If you could post the file hierarchy referred to in the .ptw file, I may be able to decypher it.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by hierarchy. Basically I want to know how what type of encoding it has. I have tried ANSI and unicode, Each format looks different.

I guess it is just a bunch of strings and numbers.
