<div><br></div><div>The first two columns are UTM (zone 36) east and north readings, the third is the elevation and the last column is the explanation for each point.</div><div><br></div><div>In 'v.in.ascii' module, I specified point as the format and typed tab (I also tried \t). I left x and y column numbers at default (1 for x, 2 for y), I did not specify z or column definition. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is the error message i am getting:</div><div><br></div><div><div>Scanning input for column types...</div><div>Maximum input row length: 9</div><div>Maximum number of columns: 1</div><div>Minimum number of columns: 1</div>
<div>ERROR: y column number > minimum last column number</div><div>(incorrect field separator?)</div></div><div><br></div><div>* I tried importing this file without decimals at the end of each coordinate, and used ' | ' instead of tab as delimiter. The result is the same. What am I doing wrong?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br>BÜLENT <br>
