[GRASS-user] nearest point to a line

Hi Grass users!

After a few years without GRASS I'm starting to work with GRASS again. And of course I have some problems or better questions if GRASS will fit my needs.

I have to find the nearest point to a line. I think v.distance wil do the trick but I'm a little bit confused. My idea is using v.distance with a threshold. The output should be a table with the point number or better point designation, the distance and the designation of the line. So I'll be able to sort the table with the minimum distance of each line. But I'm "lost in documentation" somehow. It would be great if someone could give me a short hint. How can I get the output (of course the desginations are attributes of the sites and lines).

Thanks in advance!

Okay,

sometimes it is better to go to bed and start over again. I mixed up some columns, now it works fine for me.

Thx
