[GRASS-user] which file do I use? .adf files

Stephen_Sefick1 · September 17, 2010, 12:33am

I know that I need to use a .adf file, but which one? Is there a way
to find out? These are all in a file folder that is supposed to
contain a 1_foot LIDAR dem.

dblbnd.adf
sta.adf
w001001x.adf
z001003.adf
z001005x.adf
hdr.adf
vat.adf
z001001.adf
z001003x.adf
hillshd_10m
w001000.adf
z001001x.adf
z001004.adf
metadata.xml
w001000x.adf
z001002.adf
z001004x.adf
prj.adf
w001001.adf
z001002x.adf
z001005.adf

thanks for all of your help,

so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

I'd first try the largest file... O try the header (hdr.adf). Also, I
don't know why but I was under the impression that you could point
r.in.gda to the directory and not a specific file....

Cheers

I guess you want to run r.in.gdal, or something. So you could follow this advice:

Thanks for all of your help. The metadata is of no help, already been
down that road. This is more of a arc file structure problem...
