[GRASS5] Re: s.in.ascii problem

Jaroslav,

I am copying the GRASS developer's list about this problem. I think some
(all?) of these problems have been solved in GRASS 5.4, the new stable
version of GRASS (5.3 was the beta for 5.4). Note however, that the last
time I used s.in.ascii in GRASS 5.3, it would not import text data, only
numbers.

Hi,

I am sorry that I am distrubing you, but I have the same problem as you had
half year ago.

I can not import any ascii file with string characters using s.in.ascii for
GRASS 5.3. It gives a 'segmentation fault. core dump' error.

I would like to ask if you have fixed the problem. Thank you very much.

make sure all text strings are "quoted".

if it thinks the number of input column changed it has problems.
(e.g. by a space)
