[GRASS-user] Error importing DMS into standard format using v.in.ascii

[Patton, Eric]

Following the example given in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/8368/match=v+in+ascii+dm
s

I'm trying to import D:M:S coordinates into a Lat-Long Location to create a
line vector:

echo "L 4 1
66:30:00W|44:15:00N
66:00:00W|44:15:00N
66:00:00W|44:00:00N
66:30:00W|44:00:00N" | v.in.ascii -n output=test format=standard
Error reading ascii file:
66:30:00W|44:15:00N
Building topology ...

Any ideas what is causing this error?
