I have a text file that contains attribute information and coordinates of points representing polygon vertices. Here is a simplified example of the data set up:

attributes: Name="Bob" Number="1"

x="634522.22", "y=834343.22"

x="634522.23", "y=834344.22"

x="634522.24", "y=834345.22"

x="634522.25", "y=834346.22"

attributes: Name="Steve" Number="2"

x="634522.26", y="834347.22"

x="634522.27", y="834348.22"

x="634522.28", y="834349.22"

x="634522.29", y="834350.22"

x="634522.30", y="834351.22"

(repeats for a few hundred entries)

I want to make individual polygons (for use in Arc) with each set of coordinates and attach the attributes. Is FME capable of this (i tried all day without success) or should I be working on a python solution?

Thanks!
