Session File in Post Processing

  I am performing steady simulation on a pipe, and I would like to generate a session file to create 100 planes along flow normal to the pipe. Some suggested to use a loop in session file in CFD post, but I don't know how to write a code for a loop to change plane location and name.
  Thanks

  Open CFD-Post and choose
  
  Session/New Session/test.cse
  
  Session/Start Recording
  
  File/Load Results Test_001.res
  
  Insert/Location/Point 1,1,1
  
  Insert/Location/Plane Z=0
  
  File/Export Locations Plane 1,Point1 Select Variable Pressure
  
  Session Stop Recording
  
  This produces an export file called export.csv and a session file called test.cse
  
  The session file can be replayed by opening the CFX Launcher, choosing tools/command line and in the resulting command line running the command
  
  play test.cse
  
  Now edit the session file to place a for loop around the plane creation. Use the ! operator to indicate the line should be interpreted as Perl. See "Power Syntax" in the CFX documentation for more details. A quick google search will get you the syntax for common tasks (for loops, if statements etc).
