Hm, I think you didn't understand me. I will parse everything, or better I would
like to able to. Technically I can see no reason to use the comma or the \n as
seperator. Maybe there is a problem between the operating systems. What I would
like to do is to parse scene-files, e.g. mesh2 objects, change them and write
them to disk. The latter is possible, MakeGrass or MakeClouds are wonderful
examples for this technique. So please forgive me, that I propose such an
option.

Best regards,
Michael
