help with moving spline vertices

I've got a spline (basically just a line) and I need to move each individual point on it up along the Z-axis, but in a very specific, staggered way.

It's a little hard to explain, but I want to move the first point up 20cm, the second one up 40cm, the third one up 60cm, and so on, all the way to the end.

Is there a script out there that can do something like this? I have no idea how to code myself, so any help or a ready made script would be a huge lifesaver!
 
I think it's doable! You'll want a simple script that loops through each point and offsets its Z value by 20cm more than the last. If you're using something like Blender or Rhino, some often share ready-made scripts for tasks like this, just search for "staggered Z offset spline." If you say what software you're in, someone can probably tailor one for you quick!
 
If you're in Blender, there's a simple Python script that can do this
Select your spline as a mesh and run a loop that moves each vertex along Z by increasing amounts. Works perfectly for staggered offsets.
