[GRASS-user] Converting txt file into raster layer

[Carbonari, Katie (IS)]

Good afternoon. A client of mine has given me a large text file (1.6Gig) that he wants visualized in GRASS. In the file, there are 7 columns (Time, Grid Cell Number, Elevation, Thickness, Topography height, U of water velocity, V of water velocity). I've never taken something in text form and put it into GRASS. Any suggestions on how to start? My first thought was to convert to netcdf import from there (since I have some experience working with netcdf in GRASS). Is there a more straight-forward way to do this? I have the projection information in a separate shapefile in order to geolocate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Katie
