Reading from a list of strings

Arashk

Hello, 

I am trying to extract the layer names from the crossxection and compare them to the artwork films to make sure there are no missing films.  

I use the axlGetXSection() to get a the following : 

(("" "SURFACE" "AIR" "0 mil" "0 w/cm-degC"
"0 mho/cm" "1.000000" nil nil "0"
"" nil nil nil "0.000000"
)
("" "DIELECTRIC" "FR-4" "0.787402 mil" "0 w/cm-degC"
"0 mho/cm" "2.500000" nil nil "0.035"
"" nil nil nil "0.000000"
)
("TOP" "PLANE" "COPPER" "1.181102 mil" "0 w/cm-degC"
"595900 mho/cm" "4.300000" nil t "0.035"
"" nil nil nil "90.000000"
)
("" "DIELECTRIC" "FR-4" "2.755906 mil" "0 w/cm-degC"
"0 mho/cm" "4.000000" nil nil "0.035"
"" nil nil nil "0.000000"
)
("S1" "CONDUCTOR" "COPPER" "0.787402 mil" "0 w/cm-degC"
"595900 mho/cm" "4.300000" nil nil "0.035"
"" "4.000000" "0.035" nil "90.000000"
)
)

So what I am looking to do now is to read the first string in each parentheses and check whether its null ("") and if not record the name somewhere.

I am very new to skill so any help would be appreciated even if it's another idea. 

Thanks,

-Arash
