Thank you guys, you've been a great help.

Now... just one LAST question. I'm trying to use the 'print' and 'puts' function, and I'm trying to put in these characters: < >

But when I load Sketchup, it gives me an error. I guess it thinks I'm trying to do something within the string when I put a < or >.

How can I fix this?

Sorry I wasn't clear enough... I mean to retrieve whatever groups whos name STARTS with SPECIAL... Is there is an equivalent to C's "StartsWith" in Ruby?

Thanks, TIG!

How can I separate the groups whos names start with SPECIAL and the ones that don't, though? Thanks for your help,

Alex

EDIT: And also, I'm trying to use the 'puts' function, but when I'm doing this: file.puts "<model/>", it thinks that when I use the < & > symbols that I'm trying to define a constant or something. This is the same for the 'print' function. How can I add the < > characters? Thanks for your patience with me.

Hello,

I've made a a plugin for Ruby before, but I'm writing another one and it requires something a bit tougher...

I want to gather all the groups that have the name that starts with "SPECIAL". In reality these groups will contain no faces, but simply curves. I want to get each "point" in the group and write it to a file (I know how to do that).

Now question is, how do I get the points for a line segment?

If I need to clarify more simply ask,

Thanks,

Alex
