Nope, the 'grep -v' means that entire row of data is excluded
from the datastream and never sent to v.in.ascii in the first
place.

I just used NULL=99999.99 as an example, NULL= could be set to
anything.


If you need the x,y row there, but with empty values instead of
9999s in some column, then db.execute might be a faster way
than v.db.update to clear them (only open and close the DB once),
but v.extract with where="value < 9998" might be fastest of all.
