How about windows Notepad?

Doing that now in another editor.

script.exe excellon file name R param Z param F param output file

or something similar is what I'm looking for.

How about windows Notepad? G81 is modal, write the first hole by had to
get your R Z and F parameters. Then cut and paste all the other lines into
the file. Next, use find and replace to to put in the X and Y in every
line.

Hi,

Any recommended software (preferably free) that takes X,Y coordinates
from an Excellon file and creates G81 drill cycle code blocks? I can
write a program to do this but why reinvent the wheel?
