Adding HEADER to ASCII files during export

Hi

Is there an option to include HEADER in ASCII files (pts, etc.) while processing files using Command Line version of CC?
I know I can specify that option in GUI version...

Could not find any info on that neither in manual nor in forum :(

Kind regards
Wojtek

Okay, I've added two new options to the command line mode (after C_EXPORT_FMT):
* 'ADD_HEADER' to add a header with each column's name
* 'ADD_PTS_COUNT' to add the number of points at the beginning of the saved file

You'll find the beta version here:

Hi there,

I'm trying to export a point cloud on the command line:
CloudCompare -C_EXPORT_FMT ASC -PREC 3 -EXT txt -O mycloud.bin -NO_TIMESTAMP -SAVE_CLOUDS

This works, however when I add -ADD_HEADER, CC just hangs.
Was this behaviour reported before?
Using CC 2.6.2 64bit on Win7.

Thanks in advance!

Okay I've fixed the bug (there was an infinite loop!).

The fixed beta version is here: http://www.cloudcompare.org/release

Thanks for the feedback!
