[GRASS-dev] illegal characters in filenames

[Andreas Gros]

Hi there,

while programming a grass module I would like to open some raster input files.

Doing it the way as it's done in the r.example I get the following messages, 
(which I'd like to avoid):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Illegal filename. character </> not allowed.

GRASS_INFO_WARNING(5821,1): unable to find 
[/home/andi/uni/da/prog/grassdb/metapop_test/PERMANENT/.tmp/hobbes/5821.0] in 
[PERMANENT]
Illegal filename. character </> not allowed.

GRASS_INFO_WARNING(5821,2): unable to find 
[/home/andi/uni/da/prog/grassdb/metapop_test/PERMANENT/.tmp/hobbes/5821.1] in 
[PERMANENT]
Illegal filename. character </> not allowed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When i open one of the raster files before in the grass-UI, I get the message 
the "@" in metapop_test_rastersomething at PERMANENT is a prohibited character.

Is there a standard method (non-documented, or 
not-to-be-found-elsewhere-in-the-grass-documents, by the way) of avoiding 
these messages and getting grass to do what's supposed to do?

Thanks for the help!

Andi
