Hi users, i am attempting to import a text file of coordinates and labels with v.in.ascii. i have tried the examples on the v.in.ascii help page, and looked through other posts, but still not getting it to do what i want. my text file looks like this:
1|559347.1111085|4895479.776597|LookoutCreek 2|559279.5226510|4895169.852562|WS1 3|560325.4430751|4895698.527786|WS2 4|560467.7144132|4896524.618672|WS3 5|565396.9513978|4901244.968000|WS6 6|565824.8472813|4901596.866088|WS7 7|566182.9298567|4901784.539545|WS8 8|566510.6331791|4896570.311094|Mackcreek if i run it with: v.in.ascii input=gages.txt output=gages x=2 y=3 cat=1 the point vector map is successfully created and given the category numbers in the first column of the text file however, what i want are the label names in the 4th column to be attached to the points. per the manual page, i have tried: cat gages.txt | v.in.ascii out=gages x=2 y=3 cat=1 \ columns='x double precision, y double precision, cat int, name varchar(15)' but i get the error Sorry, < columns> is not a valid parameter i have looked at v.label, v.edit, v.digit - but can't figure out how to get what i want. can anyone please give me some guidance on this, it would be greatly appreciated. thank you, Janet
