We can't import more than 49 files

[Luis F. Franco]

Hi

I have a script that combines a unspecified number of maps using r.combine.
It has an intermediate step that combines the files in groups of 10 and then
executes r.combine, and then combining the groups in groups of 10 again,
running r.combine, etc... until the 

It can easily be modified to run r.patch instead of r.combine (I think...).
If someone wants it I can pass it to the group. I uses awk as it main tool.

Thank you for your message. The real problem was format errors in ascii
data.
We've resolve them and we 're able to  import 215 files.

Now we are trying to patch them all together but r.patch allows only 10
files in
input. It is possible to change the source without create new problems?

Good bye
