[GRASSLIST:7888] joining attribute tables of points and areas???

Hello,

I've the following problem.

Given are two vector maps (one with POINTS and one with AREAS).
The result should be a vector map (POINTS) containing the attributes of the original points and of the areas in that the points lie in.

<v.overlay> obviously doesn't work here. I also tried <v.select>, but that's also not woorking, since this function doesn't join the attribute tables.

Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks in advance for your answers

use v.distance.

see example 2 in the v.distance help page:

sorry for the long(!) delay in response. maybe it helps someone
searching the archives..
