[GRASS-user] [Getting name of country based on coordinates]

[Ang Sherpa]

Thanks,

v.what seems to fulfill my objective. However, I am still trying to figure
out that how to save its output in variable. Actually, I was developing
Grass Gis based app. If I could save the  result in variable then I could
use for further anlysis. Any idea?

Thanks,
