Move Increment to Move Point Conversion Script?

Can one search for instances of a command in the edit window?
Can one select the results of that search?
Can one execute the selected commands?
Can one record the DRO position of the digital stylus point at the end of execution?

I'm a little bummed to be as busy as I am, this seems like a fun thing to play with. I am kinda working on it in the back of my mind and I think I have cleared some to the hurdles.

You can identify move commands in the program with the IsMove Property. Link to Help file: https://docs.hexagonmi.com/pcdmis/2021.1/en/helpcenter/mergedProjects/automationobjects/webframe.html#PCDLRN~Command~IsMove.html

I haven't gotten as far as finding how to distinguish incremental moves from the other types of moves. May need to use gettext to find the command information to sort it out.

It looks like selecting the features to be executed can be done with the SetExecutionBlock Method. Link to Help file: https://docs.hexagonmi.com/pcdmis/2021.1/en/helpcenter/mergedProjects/automationobjects/webframe.html#PCDLRN~PartProgram~SetExecutionBlock.html

I think it can be executed with the EXECUTE Method (Odd how it is in all caps in the documentation, as if it's extra important): Link to Help file: https://docs.hexagonmi.com/pcdmis/2021.1/en/helpcenter/mergedProjects/automationobjects/webframe.html#PCDLRN~Command~EXECUTE.html

That's as far as I have got. I haven't gotten as far as finding a way to insert a move point command on the desired line of the measuring routine or deleting the move increment command that is replacing it.

Once it is all figured out, I'm not sure if such a script can be run from the Basic Script Editor built into PC-DMIS or if it would need to be run externally from something like an Excel script or a .bas file. The later versions of windows 10 now support executing .bas files just by double clicking on them, so that wouldn't be too hard to implement if needed.
