For rasters, the restrictions can be found in the source code for G_legal_filename(): http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/gis/legal_name.c#L33 Specifically, any of the characters: / " \ ' @ , = * plus space (32), DEL (127), control characters (0-31) and 8-bit characters (128-255). Furthermore, the characters: \ / : * ? " < > | aren't allowed in filenames on Windows, so you can't use those if you want portability. The same restrictions apply to names of locations and mapsets. Currently, vector map names must be valid as an SQL table name, meaning that it can only contain letters, digits and underscore, and may not be an SQL keyword. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
