[GRASSLIST:2938] data imput

[Martin O'Loughlin]

i am a newbe, i had a look in the archives and couldn't find what i was 
looking for. I am attempting to plot a series of points on to a map.  i 
created a CSV file using excel, 3 columns long. lat and site name. 
using grass 5.0.2 on Mac OSX. i attempted to import using s.in.ascii 
but failed.

The output:

s.in.ascii - line 2 ** invalid format **
51.60745351 -2.462143461 C>ickladerovensel
  s.in.ascii - line 3 ** invalid format **
50.95993341 -2.469930701 Goathill>_St_Peterd

Couple more lines in same format, i assume that it doesn't like the 
co-ordinate system, why?

51.71 -1.88 Ampney_St_Peter
