Fellow GP/GU's

  I have a problem as usual with site data, seems to be a reoccuring
problem. I would like to get some site data into GRASS in the following format:

East North Attrib
-111:25:12 45:29:51 #1

  Thus far, the only way I can get s.in.ascii to work is by changing the
format to:

East North Attrib
-111.2512 45.2951 #1

  Needless to say these are not quite the same position. One being in
DDMMSS and the other in Decimal Degrees. Question is, why can't the blasted
thing read in ddmmss format? G.region seems to be correctly set but I get a
format error every time I run s.in.ascii.

Thanks, Craig

Try doing a little text manipulation.
This is an APRROXIMATE solution!!!

1) get rid of any header lines
2) using sed or vi change all spaces (or tabs) to colons
3) print out column1 + (column2/60)+ (column3/3600) |
  column4 + (column5/50) + (column6/3600) | column 7 to last column

4) This output should be exactly sites format, for example:

560057.41966863|4263191.57307645|#1 Snowflake Mine (magnesite)
536515.18315178|4274423.60897556|#2 Palisade Mine (silver, gold, copper)
534492.47207638|4278020.97020013|#3 Silverado Mine (silver, gold)

Good luck!
