[GRASS5] esri sites import

GRASS GRASS developer

Markus I think you forgot the cc, so I am sending this to the list. I put the
data at
http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/grassprobl/school/
I tried m.in.e00 - works but puts elevation into dig_cats directory
v.in.shape was nice because it told me to use s.in.shape but that one ended in
core dump.
Anyway, this is just a notice of possible problems, not critical for my work
because
I have the data already imported.

do you want to interpolate them? Is it right that you
get
- a sites list
- a dig_cats file
?

This is not desired of course (Hi Michel!)

For now I can only suggest to use "join":

cat sites | tr -s '|' ' ' |tr '#' ' ' > a1
cat dig_cats | tr -s ':' ' ' > b1

join -1 3 -2 1 a1 b1 > joinfile
cat joinfile
1 2092279.4 731511.19 3.80000000000000000E+02
2 2092277.1 731506.56 3.80000000000000000E+02
3 2092274.6 731501.69 3.80000000000000000E+02
4 2092271 731496.19 3.80000000000000000E+02
5 2092269.1 731493.19 3.80000000000000000E+02

Quick and dirty...

cat joinfile | cut -d' ' -f 2,3,4 > newsitestmp
cat newsitestmp | sed 's/\ /|/;s/\ /|/;s/|/|%/2' > newsites
cat newsites
2092279.4|731511.19|%3.80000000000000000E+02
2092277.1|731506.56|%3.80000000000000000E+02
2092274.6|731501.69|%3.80000000000000000E+02
2092271|731496.19|%3.80000000000000000E+02
2092269.1|731493.19|%3.80000000000000000E+02

That's it. Ugly but working. However, a fix to m.in.e00
will be better.

PS: to s.in.shape as well to fix that core dump :frowning:
