Script Help Needed - Export Xactmeasure dimensions

I have a program that reports several Xactmeasure line profiles. I have to put the max/min values of each profile into a spreadsheet. Right now I do that by hand. I'm looking for a way to automate the process using a script. I have a script that I use to extract nominal and measured values for points and am thinking I can modify it but I have no idea how to "find" the Xactmeasure profile dimensions in my program within the script. Any ideas?

Ok, I'm getting close. I've stripped some code and made modifications to get what I want but need a little more help. The code is now as follows:

The only thing I don't like right now is on my line profile outputs it lists all of the points being evaluated in the profile after the results I want. The values associated with the individual points show as "0" but how do get them to not show at all? All I want is the measured, max, and min of the profile as a whole.
