[GRASS-user] run commands sequentially - help please

[Sampson, David]

Dirty approach,
 
I used this approach when doing mass imports of files and only had
slight variations.
 
under linux (shoudl work too in cygwin, dos batch would achieve the same
thing)
 
I created a script file (executable text Basicaly) that for you would
look like
 
# for a script named runme.sh
#(what ever header you need for your shell)
#!/bin/sh
 
v.in.asci (string of settings);
g.region (string of settings);
v.surf.rst (string of settings);
nviz (string of settings);
 
#end of script
 
then at the $prompt  you need to make the file executable
$chmod 777 runme.sh
 
then at the $prompt inside a GRASS session you can run the file
$./runme.sh
 
boom!
 
notice in the script that each line ends in a ; (semi-colon) this
separates each command
 
Note also that sometimes options need to be in quotes
eg
v.in.ascii option1="settings string that may contain escape characters
or spaces";
 
Alternatively you can capture what you enter at the CLI using

Hi all,


 

First of all you should know that I'm a beginner using GRASS.

 

I want to create a 3D map from a text file with coordinates. I think the
commands I will need are the following:


 


1 - v.in.ascii


2 - g.region


3 - v.surf.rst


4 - nviz


 

But I don't want to write the commands every time I want to see a map.
So I desire to do this sequentially. How can I do that? This way I'll
only need to run one command and the map happens.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

 

Cumprimentos/Best Regards,

 

Tiago Salgueiro
