[GRASSLIST:8986] Re: v.in.ascii error

[Eva L. Hulse]

Try formatting the file like this:

1|1|1
2|2|3
3|3|1
4|4|2
5|5|3
6|6|4

with | as the field delimiter, and in point rather than standard output 
format:

v.in.ascii input=/home/salgueit/testar.txt output=testar1_out 
format=point fs=| skip=1 'columns=x double, y double, z double' x=1 y=2 
z=3 cat=0 -z

If that works, view the map by setting the region to match the new 
vector file (use g.region), opening a diplay monitor and then using the 
command d.vect to display the new vector file.
