Thanks to all of you who helped solve my problem.<br><br>I was able to run the script from the folder where the files I needed to process were stored. <br><br>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:<br><br><pre>for file in A*_MO_CHLO_4 ; do<br> echo "map: $file"<br><br> gdal_translate -a_srs "+init=epsg:4326" -a_nodata 65535 \<br> -a_ullr -180 90 180 -90 -co "COMPRESS=PACKBITS" \<br> $file ${file}_prep.tif<br><br> r.in.gdal in=${file}_prep.tif out=$file<br>done<br></pre>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.<br><br>Thanks again for your help.<br><br>Andrew<br><br>> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:04:59 -0700<br>> From: hamish_b@yahoo.com<br>> Subject: Re: [GRASS-user] Running Scripts in GRASS<br>> To: andrew.lewin@sympatico.ca; neteler@osgeo.org<br>> CC: grass-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <br>> Markus wrote:<br>> > Perhaps we should cook up a Wiki page describing this briefly?<br>> <br>> <br>> shrug. or as it's an external task, delegate the matter and add a link to some good document on the web about unix shell scripting.
