[GRASS-user] dbf File not being Created with v.in.ascii

[Ryan Rosario]

Thanks for the suggestions.

I tried that and it did not work. I added an extra column to my data file
called category and exported it to CSV. I then read in the vector using

v.in.ascii input='responseTime.csv' output=response format=point fs=','
skip=1 col='y double, x double, cat int' x=2 y=1 cat=3 --overwrite

I did this both in the GUI and command-line and I also deleted the previous
vector in case there was garbage left over.

v.info response shows no dblinks.

Is there something else I can try?

Ryan
