[GRASS-user] v.in.geonames not importing txt file in GRASS 7.0.0beta3 Windows

[RichardCooper]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error on attempting to import geonames into GRASS
7.0.0beta3 on Windows7.

I've tried to import via the GUI and command console without success.
However, it does import with GRASS 7svn[57721] on Linux.

Description:
 Creates a vector map from an ASCII points file or ASCII
vector file.
Keywords:

Usage:
 v.in.ascii [-zentbr] input=name output=name [format=string]
   [separator=character] [skip=value] [columns=string]
[x=value]
   [y=value] [z=value] [cat=value] [--overwrite] [--help]
[--verbose]
   [--quiet]
Flags:
  -z   Create 3D vector map
  -e   Create a new empty vector map and exit. Nothing is
read from input.
  -n   Don't expect a header when reading in standard format
  -t   Do not create table in points mode
  -b   Do not build topology in points mode
  -r   Only import points falling within current region
(points mode)
 --o   Allow output files to overwrite existing files
 --h   Print usage summary
 --v   Verbose module output
 --q   Quiet module output
Parameters:
      input   Name of input file to be imported
               '-' for standard input
     output   Name for output vector map
     format   Input file format
              options: point,standard
              default: point
               point: simple x,y[,z] list
               standard: GRASS vector ASCII format
  separator   Field separator
               Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab,
newline
              default: pipe
       skip   Number of header lines to skip at top of input
file (points mode)
              default: 0
    columns   Column definition in SQL style (points mode)
               For example: 'x double precision, y double
precision, cat int, name varchar(10)'
          x   Number of column used as x coordinate (points
mode)
               First column is 1
              default: 1
          y   Number of column used as y coordinate (points
mode)
               First column is 1
              default: 2
          z   Number of column used as z coordinate (points
mode)
               First column is 1. If 0, z coordinate is not
used
              default: 0
        cat   Number of column used as category (points
mode)
               First column is 1. If 0, unique category is
assigned to each row and written to new column 'cat'
              default: 0
ERROR: Required parameter <input> not set:
        (Name of input file to be imported)
ERROR: Required parameter <output> not set:
        (Name for output vector map)
