s.in.ascii

Hello Henk,

It sounds like you're missing a character before the z variable. I think
you need to add an # to all your z variables in the file you are reading
in with s.in.ascii. Therefore:

X Y Z
123 342 #23

All should then be ok.

Best regards,

Chris

Hi

I am struggling to get s.in.ascii to produce a site file that I can use
for interpolation. I can produce an ascii file containing x, y and a z
column. The z column contains a numerical value that will be used for
interpolation. So far, nothing has worked. I have tried prefixing the z
with a % and without. This puts 0's into the site list. interpolation
gives errors pertaining to invalid formats and no data found. I will be
good and tabulate all the attempts and problems, unless someone can
point me at information that will help me start from scratch again

Thanks

Henk

This is what I thought as well. The resulting sites file then looks like

22:30:02.484E|27:59:59.136S|0|

s.surf.idw then says "I'm finding records that do not have floating
point attributes"

and stops, with the message:
"s.surf.idw: no data points found"

use the management programs to edit the sites file and replace the
qualifier on each height i.e. make every "#" a "%" instead ( or put a "%"
in front of each height).

Hi

I have done this and imported the file using grass4.2.1, which seems to
interpolate OK. Is this a problem in 5.0beta3?
