Hi, I am writing v.in.geonames to easily read in data from http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/
The script is essentially using v.in.ascii to read in the CSV file encoded in UTF-8 Unicode text. There are placenames in various languages including Japanese. v.in.ascii isn't able to read them properly and fails on such lines, example: 3165456 Torre del Greco Torre del Greco Torre d%27%27o Grieco,Torre d''o Grieco,Torre d''o Grieco,Torre del Greco,トッレ・デル・グレーコ 40.7839209532791 14.3708038330078 P PPL IT 04 NA 063084 90607 72 Europe/Rome 2008-06-28 (I have slightly improved the v.in.ascii error message, not yet submitted): ERROR: Unparsable latitude value in column <4>: 'o Grieco,Torre d''o Grieco,Torre del Greco,トッレ・デル・グレーコ How to fix this problem? thanks markus _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
