[Gmsh] Problem with mesh exportation

Dear sir
I'm using GMSH (windows version) in order to modell some 3D droplet streams 
(alignment of spheres in a parallelepiped)
In order to make some simulations in fluent 3D, I export the mesh in the 
I-DEAS universal mesh which is legible by Gambit
But I had a problem with the nodes saving
the spacing between the 3 node coordinates was false and Gambit (or Fluent) 
couldn't read the z coordinate.
Thanks to an I-DEAS mesh found on internet (and which was readable) I could 
correct my mesh. The operation was quite boring : I must align with exel 
the node coordinates, and aftewards, by using the search/replace function 
in nedit (in unix), I succeded in aligning the numbers between each node 
(thanks to the space key which is considered as a character in this text 
editor)

Eventually, the mesh was legible

The part next to the nodes didn't seem to be false, I didn't correct anything.

I hope you will do something to avoid the user aligning the nodes
Please find enclosed to this mail the a part of the mesh found on internet 
concerning the nodes

Thank you in advance
Bruno
