[GRASS-user] How to grep basic statistics from a vector ascii (x, y, z) file and export in a new ascii?

[Nikos Alexandris]

A friend works with LIDAR data. He needs to write a program with which
he extracts (from an vector ASCII x,y,z file) the row containing the
maximum z (height) and write a new vector ASCII containing the result.

(He writes in C++)

Since he deals with lots of ASCII files he needs to batch this job.

How about doing this in GRASS? With R maybe?


Thank you,

Nikos
