I have a point cloud in ascii format with columns for x, y, z and classification.

I want to extract the values of x and y in two new attributes (as a list) which I can use for further processing. How can I achieve this?

Thank you @AnnabelleAtSafe. I used the point cloud splitter to help me achieve this.
