[GRASS-user] Vector import

[Stuart Edwards]

In my last post I was erroneously addressing row 7 instead of 8 ......

After another shut down and restart, the problem has mysteriously solved itself and the file imports as expected - spaces and all.
Very strange.

Importing ASCII files has always (for me) been a challenge. Much as I might try, there always seems to be something wrong with my files. Here's a case in point. Simple table with 6 columns and 66 rows - copy attached. This was output from R - which is usually very reliable.

But perhaps it doesn't like the space in the geology column string (even though 1-7 all include at least one space) . Replace the space with an _ and try again. No luck. Get rid of the space completely. No luck. Try reading the file back into R - no problem. Try reading the file into QGIS - no problem.
