Subject: errors in v.digit from d.m and gui interface

Platform: other
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc)
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.7 24-4-2004

V.digit no longer starts from d.m. Nothing happens when I click the "dig" button. When v.digit started from command line, the background commands still don't work--though they give a different error than they used to. Now they generate...

v.digit map=elevation_mask bgcmd=d.rast map=elevation_dem -n
Map does not exist.
New empty map created.
Illegal vector map name <elevation_mask,elevation_dem>. Character <,> not allowed.
ERROR: Map name not SQL compliant.

[Note Mac OSX is not an option on the OS pull-down]

I get the same error if I put the 'd.rast map=elevation_dem' clause in single quotes.

Michael,

did you create a vector entry first in 'd.m'? And activated the layer?
Then the 'dig' item should work.

When v.digit started from command line, the background commands still don't work--though they give a different error than they used to. Now they generate...

v.digit map=elevation_mask bgcmd=d.rast map=elevation_dem -n

You are missing the quotes:

v.digit map=elevation_mask bgcmd='d.rast map=elevation_dem' -n
