Sorry but I am still confused how to do the break.
In the Attachment there is a GRASS-exported shp.-file with my
rivernet consisting of 43 single lines.
I want to break that river at e.g. 3521021.43671,6041340.79067
which is one point (out of others) along the river.

Here's what I tried:<br>
<br>
GRASS 6.4.0 (WGS84):~/geodata > v.edit river_gen tool=break
coords="3521021.43671,6041340.79067"<br>

Number of areas: 0<br>
Number of isles: 0<br>
v.edit complete.<br>
<br>
So I there are now 44 line segments as opposed to the original 43.
One got split into two. But the two new segments have the same cat
number.<br>
Next I wiped out all the old cats:<br>
GRASS 6.4.0 (WGS84):~/geodata > v.category river_gen opt=del
cat=1-43 out=river_gen_tmp<br>
and recreated new cats into a new vector:<br>
GRASS 6.4.0 (WGS84):~/geodata > v.category --o river_gen_tmp
opt=add out=river_gen_2<br>
<br>
In the attached image you can see that the original line segment
with cat=12 (black numbers) got split into two (after the v.edit
step). THe red numbers are the new cat values, and that line segment
got cats 43 and 44.<br>
<br>
Reviewing your first post I want to also note:<br>
I believe that GRASS's topology model will not allow you to merge
the original river segments into one "polyline" (MULTILINE in other
GIS). You *can* of course have polylines in GRASS, but they must
consist of two line segments connected at exactly one point. In any
typical river network you always have three segments intersecting:
the upstream reach, the tributary and the downstream reach. <br>
Others with more experience may correct me, but I think that if you
must merge all the river segments into one "MULTILINE" before
splitting at the new points, then you'll have to use some other tool
and non-topological vector data format outside of GRASS. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>So if I understand you correctly, it is not really possible to split a river network at one point into to parts.

<pre wrap="">In the end I want two features/categories one on each side of the break.
what are the exact steps especially when I want to do it with several points
(I know the procedure with a python for loop in combination with v.edit).
