NAME

v.in.sites.all - Converts all old GRASS < Ver5.7 sites maps in current mapset to vector maps.

KEYWORDS

sites, vector, import

SYNOPSIS

v.in.sites.all
v.in.sites.all help
v.in.sites.all [-r] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-r: Run non-interactively
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

DESCRIPTION

v.in.sites.all converts all GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 sites files in the current mapset into 6.0 vectors.

NOTES

Sites maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and vector maps from 6.0 do not interfere. They are stored in different directories, so you can use the same names. Old sites maps can be listed with g.list sites.
As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some SQL restrictings concerning the file names. This script changes dots (e.g. "foo.bar") in old vector map names into underline(s) (e.g. "foo_bar"). It also adds the extension '_points' to the new vector map name.

EXAMPLE

To convert all old vector maps in the current mapset to the new vector format:

v.in.sites.all -r
