[GRASS-user] how to update one attribute of a small vector map?

[Milton Cezar Ribeiro]

Hi there,

Sorry to expand a little bit this thread. I have a vector map with 10
thousands of records, and for each record I have a set of about 10
attributes. Now I would like to generate a raster map from one attribute of
vector map. But on vector I have CHAR values like: "Low", "Medium" and
"High", and I would like that my raster map get values 1, 2 and 3,
respectivelly.

Any help are welcome.
