[Qgis-user] Handling of GRASS console outputs in Sextante

[Paulo van Breugel]

How does Sextante handle GRASS modules that output their results to the 
console. An example, the (default) output of v.report is a table send to 
the console. And this is what happens too when using the module in 
Sextante judged by the batch script created by Sextante when running 
v.report.

This is not very useful because the user is not running this from the 
console (or more correctly, this process is hidden for the user), i.e., 
no result is presented to the user. Sextante should somehow capture the 
output and present it to the user (which is not happening now it seems). 
There are various GRASS functions which output is send to the console 
(normally it is possible to send the output to a text file, maybe that 
can be used by Sextante?).
