[GRASS-dev] RE: [GRASS-user] Error importing DMS into standar dformat usingv. in.ascii

[Patton, Eric]

Ok, I finally got my points imported with this command:

echo "B 5 1
 66.5 44.0
 66.5 44.25
 66.0 44.25
 66.0 44.0
 66.5 44.0
1 1" | v.in.ascii -n output=new_test format=standard

Note that the field separator is a space, but v.in.ascii is not explicitly
told so using the fs= parameter, which is kind of odd.

Again, it fails even if W and N are omitted:

echo "66.5|44.25" | v.in.ascii -n output=DMS_test format=standard --o

Error reading ascii file:
66.5|44.25
Building topology ...
0 primitives registered
0 areas built
0 isles built
Attaching islands:
Attaching centroids: Topology was built.
Number of nodes     :   0
Number of primitives:   0
Number of points    :   0
Number of lines     :   0
Number of boundaries:   0

Number of areas     :   0
Number of isles     :   0

I tried reversing Long and Lat, but get the same error. Interestingly,
the
"Error reading ascii file" line disappears if I run the same command
without
the -n flag, but still fails:

echo "66.5|44.25" | v.in.ascii output=DMS_test format=standard --o

Hi,

I think that decimal degree go without W and N since
the minus is used for West/South.
