[pdal] How to read a text file

[Michael Rosen]

Suppose I wanted to pass a text file into PDAL:

512333.29   5403400.03  316.88   100   512333.30   5403400.04  316.82   100

512333.30   5403400.23  316.89   94    512333.30   5403400.22  316.91   94

512333.31   5403400.32  316.93   48    512333.31   5403400.33  316.90   48

512333.32   5403400.52  316.93   48    512333.33   5403400.53  316.90   48

512333.34   5403400.63  316.90   50    512333.34   5403400.63  316.91   50

512333.35   5403400.73  316.90   68    512333.35   5403400.74  316.84   68

512333.35   5403400.83  316.92   43    512333.36   5403400.84  316.85   43

512333.09   5403399.97  323.35   6     512333.36   5403400.94  316.90   43

512333.10   5403400.08  323.33   23    512333.38   5403401.05  316.86   46

512333.38   5403401.04  316.92   47    512333.38   5403401.04  316.90   47

512333.39   5403401.15  316.91   42    512333.39   5403401.15  316.87   42

512333.40   5403401.15  316.92   39    512333.40   5403401.16  316.85   39

512333.40   5403401.16  316.90   50    512333.41   5403401.17  316.84   50

512333.42   5403401.17  316.89   51    512333.42   5403401.18  316.83   51

...

No header line, just a list of known fields.  Suppose I wanted to translate
it to LAS.  How could I do that?

Here's what doesn't work:

pdal translate myfile.txt myfile.las

pdal translate --readers.text.separator=" " myfile.txt myfile.las

thanks.
