Exactly as Paul said. Well done.

but there is a caveat. It assumes the numbering of vertices along the
profile is in increasing order. It works well with the NACA dataset in
VTKData/EnSight because the mesh is curvilinear structured.

It is much more difficult to get when the profile is the intersection of
a plane with the 3D surface of an airfoil (typically unstructured), and
the numbering of vertices is all but monotonously increasing. Yet
harder, if the profile is the intersection of a 3D multi-block airfoil
surface.
