[GRASS-user] problem with grass 6.4.0

[Sylvain Maillard]

Hi,

I copy/paste your sample data in your email and what I see is the following
structure. I'm snot sure if it is the original structure or if it as been
modified byt various email software...

   -7.830    43.050     0.000

- 3 white space
- your X data
- 4 white space
- your Y data
- 5 white space
- your Z data

the error message seems to say that the script found only blanck columns ...

You can try to sanitize your file, ie not initial space and only 1 space
between each column, and tray again to import your file ;)
I already get some cases like that on "tabulated" ascii files from ArcGis
and always needed to sanitise them first !


cheers,
Sylvain
