<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For the QGIS-GRASS-plugin update Radim, Pedro, Andrew and me were discussion how to implement multiple selections for map input in the UI in QGIS.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In this context I was thinking that the ability to use wildcards would be really handy for GRASS newcomers. People who are not afraid of the command line can of course easily pipe g.list output to modules with multiple
input or re-use the latter from file like e.g. in temporal modules.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My idea would be to allow something like this:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">r.series input=temperature_*_05_17 output=norway_national_day_temperature_avg method=average (in order to calculate average temperature for Norways national day for example)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">in the GUI and/or command line, where wildcards are evaluated to a list of available maps following that pattern.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The “*” is not allowed in map names, right, so, whenever it appears in a multiple map input it might used to trigger a respective g.list operation…<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My question is:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Would it be of interest and feasible to add such a feature to GRASS?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Just an idea to make things easier for beginners and those who only use the GUI...</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I thought there was a ticket about this, but I can't find it. The suggestion I remember (but it never got implemented) is to reuse a dialog for selecting multiple maps using regular expressions (accessible from layer manager) and have a small button near the map entry in the autogenerated dialogs which would open this dialog and transfer the resulting map series back in the map entry field. So this would be implemented on the GUI level. Your suggestion would be implemented on parser level. I guess both have some pluses and minuses.</div><div><br></div><div>Anna</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="NO-BOK" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
