[GRASS-user] Copying many files of same pattern from one mapset to another

GRASS GRASS user

   Can't directly move maps from one mapset to another using rename (unless
I'm misreading the manual page), so I need to copy them to the current
mapset, then change to the source mapset and remove them.

   The g.copy man page does not indicate using regex or pattern to copy many
files at the same time. I have a set of 72 maps of the same pattern
(test4blk_h_*) created in the wrong mapset. I want to copy them to the
proper mapset. Is there a way to do this with a single command?

Hi Rich:

I do:
for r in g.list rast pattern=test4blk_h_* mapset=other_mapset; do
g.copy rast=${r}@other_mapset,${r};
done

Micha,

   Sigh. I keep forgetting that a simple bash script will do the job.

Thanks,

Rich

Martin,

   Ah, that's an addon. Good to know.

Thanks,

For similarly named maps spread in various Mapsets:

for SCENE in $MAPSETS ;do
        g.copy raster=${PREFIX}@${SCENE},${PREFIX}_${SCENE}
        g.remove -f type=raster name=${PREFIX}@${SCENE}
done

Interesting! Maybe worth a flag for optionally having such a feature
in the g.copyall addon?

Would g.move module/script make sense?
