[GRASS-user] r.kappa

Hi there,

Today I am using r.kappa to test a LANDSAT classification. The module runs fine, but I am unable to save the error matrix and kappa to a file.

I have tried both with the GUI and in python script.

I am running it using NX client and so my file paths have '' symbols to represent directories. When I use the ‘browse’ icon to locate the correct directory/file, grass automatically uses ''. However I am receiving the error msg:

Illegal filename. Character </> not allowed.

Also - it doesn’t seem clear whether I have to have created a text file to store this information beforehand or whether it does this.

I have tried both and neither work because of the character error.

Any help really appreciated

I am running it using NX client and so my file paths have '\' symbols to
represent directories. When I use the 'browse' icon to locate the correct
directory/file, grass automatically uses '\'. However I am receiving the
error msg:

There must be something lacking in the
ask() function:

Also - it doesn't seem clear whether I have to have created a text file to
store this information beforehand or whether it does this.

It should definitely do this.

Some Windows specific directory separator is needed,
perhaps similar to

I think: worth a ticket...

See new ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2025

This issue has been fixed some minutes ago.

The tomorrow's winGRASS snapshot contains the fix as well as
the upcoming GRASS 6.4.3 release.
