[GRASSLIST:5206] g.region help

I am having a bit of a dilemma, and I am sure there is any easy way to
resolve it...I hope...

I am currently importing what will soon be 4000+ arcview grid files
using the r.in.arc command. However, the raster produced encompases the
entire pre-set region. Is it possible to set the region via the input
file? I know there is a g.region rast=<filename>, but the raster must
already be present...Any ideas?

I'm not quite shure (I have never done this before), but when you're using r.in.gdal you can extend the region settings. You should take a look at the r.in.gdal manpage. Hope This will help.

AFAIK, r.in.arc was written for Arc/Info ASCII grids as exported via
gridascii. The reported behavior doesn't sound right as the program
reads the header of the input file, sets the region using this info,
and then opens the output raster. Perhaps the header entries are bogus?

Recognized labels: ncols, nrows, xllcorner, yllcorner, cellsize,
nodata_value (case doesn't matter).

Are you sure the imported raster actually encompasses the whole region?
