Remove from structure Hi, I was testing benoitlahoz's CSV2Strucutre plugin with the data from Radiohead's House of Cards and I found a problem that I always managed to work around before. The problem is that the CSV file has 12302 lines with 4 columns (x,y,z cordinates and intensity) but the Mesh creator patch can only accept the first 3 columns. So, as I didn't find any software that could batch remove the last column from the csv files, I now need to find a way of removing it from the structure inside quartz composer.

Hi,
Can't you use excel to delete your column ? Or may be I don't understand well...
That doesn't sound right, I suspect your problem may be elsewhere.
The mesh create can, in fact, take a W value (eg. what you're describing as "intensity".) It should be a 1, if you want the thing to render at full scale.
Does your data work with kineme gl point structure?
Please find attached a new composition which is reading a csv file with the last column removed. I also attached the readme file from the data.
I tried it with GL point structure and it crashes quartz composer.
I can't remove the last column on every file because I got 1000 files and I don't know how to batch remove it.
Still, isn't there a way of removing the last component of each member in quartz composer?
That would be useful for many things.
Your patch uses some kind of custom plugin, so it doesn't restore. Do you have a link to where that plugin is able to be downloaded from? You should probably try attaching an "unedited" file as well, because all of these have only 3 columns, so there's no possibility of showing how to make it work in QC without editing the file, if I'm following correctly.
You can remove the w value with javascript, an iterator, or maybe some custom plugin that I'm not thinking of at the moment.
The only plugin that isn't native is this one: http://kineme.net/files/CSV2Structure.zip
1.csv file has 4 columns and 1_0.csv has only 3.
