make r.report CSV/spreadsheet ready

[timmie]

r.report shall have an option to be reformated in a way that it could be easy further processed:

• separators such as ";" or ","
• remove all header & footer
• remove all unnecessary "|" and "."

Hi,

Perhaps r.stats has what you want? (r.report is largely a wrapper which prints the computer-friendly results of r.stats in a human-friendly way)

Hi Hamish, Just a suggestion, but I think it would be useful if this is added to the description section of r.report; something like: "If you want a computer-friendly output, e.g., for use with calc, use r.stasts"

done in all branches.

Thanks for the pointer. In r.stats I miss:

• header for fields (columns)
• units

And its really difficult to get a similar output as in r.report.

feel free to rename the ticket and reopen it against r.stats for those if you like.

Luckily area in sq-m like r.stats gives is very easy to convert to hectare or sq-km.

my only concern about unit conversions is that r.stats is already quite complicated for a low-level tool.
