<TITLE>r.patch needs 'multiple' switch</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN DEFANGED_STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>If I understand the ‘multiple’ option for g.parser, r.patch needs to have this set to yes. You need to be able to enter multiple maps, separated by commas, into the map entry box.<BR>
<BR>
If my understanding is correct, g.rename also needs this. I think that there are several other commands that need this switch, but can’t remember which ones at the moment. I haven’t reported this previously because I guessed it might not work anyway until G.PARSER() was fixed to accept spaces and other characters. I’ll report them as I run into them. <BR>
<BR>
I have a question and I hope you all can excuse my ignorance on this. I thought I’d look at the r.patch command to check whether or not multiple was not set or whether it was set but not working correctly before sending this email. Then maybe I could even offer to make this very minor fix in modules when I ran into this. However, I can’t see where the actual r.patch program is located. It is not in the source directory /grass51/raster/r.patch where I expected it to be. Nor can I find a reference to it in other (what appear to be) likely locations. I could find no reference to g.rename in the source files at all—although it must be there somewhere in order for the module to compile. I’m interested in learning more about how GRASS is put together and seem to be stuck at the beginning.<BR>
