davorg, Thanks for the reply. I am sending you an example of the data that I am looking to read from a file into the array. WHat I am looking for is a list of blocks, each block has a list of vertices, and each vertex has 4 values. I am also looking for a way to "check" off blocks once I have written them, and the same for the vertices. Anyway, I am really looking for a structure of a list of blocks, which contain a list of vertices (each block has a different number of vertices) and then each vertex contain four seperate values. Thanks for your help.
