It started life as an ascii file I created in Barebone Textwrangler. I imported it into GRASS using v.in.ascii to create point vectors, hence the extra code. I just need a way to clean up the unnecessary code to create labels for my maps I intend to put in my dissertation.

Hi Kurt,

What data format is your attribute data currently in? GRASS? Shape? Postgis?

Depending on the data format there may be different option, as QGIS
currently only allows manual editing of attributes, rather than automated
commands/formulas as in spreadsheets or databases.

If the data is in Postgis, I would use the replace() command in Postgis,
if it is in a shapefile, you can use OpenOffice to edit the dbf file.

I am trying to label certain sites.  I originally used ascii files to
put the sites into GRASS.  However, this leaves some ascii codes in
the labels in Qgis.

For example, the label comes out:  #1 %51 @"Cat. 51".  All I need is
Cat. 51 to appear on the map.  This is in column str_1.  The "toggle
editing mode" button is grayed out.  How can I edit this column?

Thanks for any help.

Kurt
