Export point cloud data?

[booyah]

Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible or how to export point cloud data from David?

... simply remove the triangle-section in the *obj-file, then automatically delete all "v" in the vertices section lines with a text editor and rename the file from "*.obj" to "*.asc" (or "*.xyz" or another raw-format, that your program can import)

This will change the file from:
