NAME

s.in.grid - convert Arc GRIDASCII output to site list.
(GRASS Shell Script)

SYNOPSIS

s.in.grid file

DESCRIPTION

s.in.grid is a awk script that reads the output of Arc/INFO's GRIDASCII command and converts it to a GRASS site list.

OPTIONS

Parameters:

file
Name of the output of GRIDASCII.

EXAMPLE

Typing the following:
Arc: GRIDASCII nitrates tmp
Arc: quit
...
GRASS GRID> s.in.grid tmp | s.in.ascii nitrates fs='|'
GRASS GRID> rm tmp
This procedure exports the GRID file nitrates from Arc/INFO and imports it as the GRASS site list nitrates.

NOTES

awk may not be able to handle large ASCII grids. In these instances, try using nawk, or better yet, gawk.
