[GRASSLIST:4615] v.out.ogr attributes

[Ann Marie Gorman]

Ok. It appears that I can subscribe now! Sorry about that....

Hi List.
I'm looking for help with v.out.ogr.
The goal is to import SDTS DLGs into GRASS and export them as 
ESRI_shapefiles WITH the Elevation attribute information. Ultimately I 
would like to create a scriptt o do many files (all 50 that I have).

I still cannot export the Elevation attributes for my DLG...I have

> >>        * v.in.ogr ouput=hp07 dsn=hp01catd.ddf type=line    'when i do d.what.vect I can see the cat and elevation data for each line
> >>        * v.db.connect -p hp07   'shows that tables are connected via key=cat
> >>        * v.out.ogr hp07 dsn=tmp layer=hp07s format=ESRI_Shapefile field=1 type=line
> >>        * My attribute tables comes out empty...

This is the first time I am trying to use the new database functionality, so please bear with me! My goal is to export at least the cat field so that I can join the table manually  in ArcView.

Thank you so much for any advice!
