Ah, I get it now. It's not really an illegal 'filename', in terms of the operating system, it's an illegal mapname in terms of Grass. So your Bash is now correct, it's your Grass that is broken. For the output=$file part, try something like this: output=$(basename $file) Tyler _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
