Interesting.
Running your latest code in the console works but running it in SketchUp Ruby Code Editor by Alexander Schreyer gives the Nil result also.
I also tried your first version in the console and it worked without errors.
So is it safe to continue if it's just something in his Code editor app that causes the Nil result?
Here is the txt file I'm loading. (It's a json file from the beginning.)

Thanks, but I still get the Nil result even after removing the "Return 0".
I even get it when running your code.
For now I'm just experimenting with this part so there is no other code.
The line I'm testing with looks like this:
"x"; 3.4919929866069115,
Next question.
This is the code I'm experimenting with:
@settings = []
def load_file(file_path, status)
@filepath = UI.openpanel("Open File", "c;/", "TXT|*.txt||")
@settings = File.readlines(@filepath)
return 0 # Success
end
load_file(@filepath, true)
puts @settings[2].split(' ')[1].to_f
After loading the file I managed to get the number as a float but after running this I also get a:
3.4919929866069115 #This is a number I want to read. So this is fine.
"Nil result (no result returned or run failed)" #Why do I get this?
Thanks. Ill try with this.
Can someone shed some light on how to read from an external text file and finding the relevant data?
I have a txt file that originally is a json file and has some stuff that is not needed to read so how do I find the parts I want to read?
Can you tell the script to read from certain lines?
How do you cope with lines like these?
"x"; -0.6789975732998361,
"y"; 0.0008515437495198585
If I know that for example line 66 will always be this: "x": (and some float) -0.6789975732998361, how do I skip the:
"x";
and the final comma?

I am glad you like the speed of the plugin! You are right that the import speed is extremely quick compared to other solutions.
Would it be possible to make a copy and paste plugin with this speed as well?
@whaat said:
You can install in on up to two PCs that you own yourself, as long as they are not used simultaneously.
Great!

Regarding non-subscription...I can't promise anything right now, but we are definitely listening to feedback about this issue.
Can you suggest a price for the hypothetical non-subscription version that you think reflects the value that Skimp can provide to professional SketchUp users?
I don't know what you would charge for a non subscription version but I don't like the idea of renting software and pay indefinitely for them in order to have them work. I prefer to pay once and if there is a new version with enough features added I would pay for the next version number.
I believe that is a better deal for the customer.
I also believe that is a better incentive for developers to make enhancements to software than with a subscription.
Downloaded the demo and wow it's fast on import. Don't know how you do that?
Any chance for a "copy and paste" plugin with that speed?
A question.
If I purchase, how many PCs can I install it on?
I can't find any info on that.
I'm hoping I can have it on my work PC and my home laptop.
Any chance for a non subscription version?
I'm looking for info on how to have a user input field where I can write a formula like this:
Math::cos(i/(nw-1).to_f*1*Math::PI/1.5)*s/5+Math::sin(j/(nw-1).to_f*1*Math::PI)*s/5
Is it possible?
Several years ago I rendered a animation with Vray 1.5 on one PC.
I believe rendering took 4-5 weeks 24/7.
I would NOT do it like that again. 
With Enscape I rendered a 4 minutes animation in less than an hour.
Thank you. That works as I wanted.
This is a screenshot after running your code.
As you can see the inner components and groups are also selected.
This is just a start of a script and one thing I want to do is to hide all the edges in nested groups and components all the way down.
Selecting is just to see if it works.
I ran your code but it also selecting the sub groups and components.
A little further but still not working...
I have attached a simple test scene but only the "free" edges in the first level gets selected.
mod = Sketchup.active_model
sel = mod.selection
ent = mod.active_entities
edges = []
Sketchup.active_model.selection.each{|e|
if e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Edge) #This works
edges << e
elsif e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
e.entities.each{|edge|
next unless edge.is_a?(Sketchup;;Edge)
edges << edge
}
elsif e.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
e.definition.entities.each{|edge|
next unless edge.is_a?(Sketchup;;Edge)
edges << edge
}
end
}
sel.clear
sel.add(edges)
I want to get all edges from a selection of one or several nested groups or components.
How?
