[GRASS-user] v.in.ascii problem
Dear List, I have a tab-delimited text (.txt) file and I am experimenting with importing points into GRASS (6.5 svn) in Snow Leopard. Here is the content of the file: 675166.97 4450516.81 246 Orhan 675135.87 4450516.98 250 Osman 675156.68 4450501.48 250 Sehitlik 675155.74 4450560.93 243 SaatKulesi 675192.48 4450504.39 245 Kuledenilerisi The first two columns are UTM (zone 36) east and north readings, the third is the elevation and the last column is the explanation for each point. In 'v.in.ascii' module, I specified point as the format and typed tab (I also tried \t). I left x and y column numbers at default (1 for x, 2 for y), I did not specify z or column definition. Here is the error message i am getting: Scanning input for column types... Maximum input row length: 9 Maximum number of columns: 1 Minimum number of columns: 1 ERROR: y column number minimum last column number (incorrect field separator?) * I tried importing this file without decimals at the end of each coordinate, and used ' | ' instead of tab as delimiter. The result is the same. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- BÜLENT ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

To preserve exact formatting, could you attach the sample data to the email as an attachment? this looks rather suspicious: Maximum input row length: 9 longest row is only 9 characters long?

In OSX's TextEdit go to the menu at the top and do Format - Make plain text, and then re-save. the tab-stops, Styles pulldown, and justification buttons should disappear from the top of the editor window.
