[GRASSLIST:6608] Export vector table to text file?

GRASS GRASS user
1

Dear Grass users,

Probably an obvious question, but I can not find the answer in the help files and other references.

How do I export a vector table directly to a text file from within Grass?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Sander.

do you mean database table?

echo "select * from your_vector_file "| db.select -c > text_file.txt

or via ooffice calc, if you want just to edit it and you are not familiar
with SQL

the vectorfile export is made by v.out.ascii, but I don't thing, you need this

familiar with SQL

see also v.db.select; v.to.db; v.out.ascii.db from the Add-on section of
the wiki if you want associated coordinates; v.to.points+v.out.ascii; and
the little dbview application (google).
