1. The document info palette will give you number of objects or number of points on a path, either will work. 2. I'm more into manipulating geometry than data. Hope someone else has a solution for this. General notes: I think I would keep a copy of the original path, maybe hidden or unstroked on another layer, or in a separate file. (I'm superstitious about techniques I've never tried before.) I might also expand the dots, so they wouldn't be accidentally "cleaned up." While the effect is live, Illustrator considers them stray points, and will happily remove them for you with the Clean Up command. Old Bob, I just thunk on it a minute, then put 2 things together that I thought might work. :)
