Michael,

my Mac definitely does not like fs=|
it imports it correctly without it (as it i the default separator)
or when it is "|"

I've run into a problem running v.in.ascii for WinGRASS importing an
ASCII points file. Sometimes it works OK. Other times, it causes a
Windows dbf.exe error but still gets the job done. In most cases, it causes a dbf.exe error and only imports the first point--with a coor
error.

Here are a couple of other pieces of information.

can you 1) run it with 'g.gisenv DEBUG=5' and 2) make the input file
and exact command line used available.

how about if you skip DB creation with '-t'?

We've used several files to test. But the main one is from the N. Carolina demo data set, external files for import <http:// skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/grassbookdat07/ncexternal/ schools_el_lu.txt>.

that file was actually output from GRASS - this is the command:

r.what -f elevation,landuse96_28m null=-9999 < schools.txt > schools_el_lu.txt

the original file is here (I assume that one works):
http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/grassbookdat07/ ncexternal/schools.txt

Apparently I haven't tried to import it. It was probably generated on Mac.
I can try it out and report back,

This is a messy dataset, which may be part of the cause. But OTOH, it should behave the same way on all platforms and not cause a Windows dbf.exe error.

v.in.ascii input=/Users/cmbarton/schools_el_lu.txt output=schools_lu format=point fs=| skip=0 x=1 y=2 z=0 cat=3

I just tried it and saw it flash a malloc and dbmi error before it crashed the GUI

I'll try the debug on my Mac. I don't think that will work on Windows.

Michael
