[GRASS-user] Re: Editing a bash script

[Rebecca Bennett]

Thanks for the heads up Marcus, g.ask works like a charm now.


Part of my script includes a choice of external. asc files, is there an 
equivalent to g.ask command the user to enter this file path/ name?

Many thanks for reading,
Rebecca

The command to ask is g.ask, not g.findfile:

Hope this helps
