Manipulate place_txt File

Hey guys,

I have a design with 3000+ parts that I have to recreate. I have a file with XY location and rotation data for in a text file. I would like to be able to do a File--Import, Placement on. I noticed that the formatting of the place_txt.txt file is pretty specific and is ! delimited. Are there any utilities or clever ways to manipulate the XY text file I have to fit the format of the place_txt.txt file?

I would like to open the original placement file in Excel, organize/rearrange the fields to get them in the proper order and then export out a file that I can then import into Allegro.

It's a simple Skill utility. I can send you some code if you like?
