[GRASS-user] Running Scripts in GRASS

[Andrew Lewin]

I found the solution...again, I had to ensure that the program was reading from the correct path.

Thanks to all of you who helped solve my problem.

I was able to run the script from the folder where the files I needed to process were stored.  

I still have to tweak the script as the program says that it doesn't recognize "*".  The script uses the "*" symbol in the following manner:

for file in A*_MO_CHLO_4 ; do
  echo "map: $file"

  gdal_translate -a_srs "+init=epsg:4326" -a_nodata 65535 \
    -a_ullr -180 90 180 -90 -co "COMPRESS=PACKBITS" \
    $file ${file}_prep.tif

  r.in.gdal in=${file}_prep.tif out=$file
done
Can anyone tell me the language the program is in?  I am not familiar with it and it would be good to know more about it.

Thanks again for your help.

Andrew
